What is “We call it Tango”?
We call it Tango is a professional performance created by tango experts Agustina Videla and Pablo Destito in Buenos Aires . With tireless dedication and exceptional talent, every nuance of the staging and choreography has been lovingly crafted.
Now this masterpiece is brought to you in three acts and thirteen different tangos. As a love story, it is brought to life through the grace of ochos (smooth figure eights), the elegance of planeos (elegant turns on one leg with the other extended) and the grace of lustradas (shining or polishing movements).
The tango, its music and the show
The place of origin of this prestigious art form is the La Plata basin that surrounds Buenos Aires. This is where the tango blossomed and became an indispensable part of Argentine culture. In the tango milongas and salons (dance events) that were organized there, people found space for social interaction and artistic expression. This lively tradition has been recognized by UNESCO as an intangible cultural heritage of humanity.
The enchanting dance show of “We call it Tango” is accompanied by live instruments and takes you on a passionate journey to Buenos Aires without leaving Vienna.
