Description

A theatrical production in two acts and five scenes representing the exciting music and dance of the Argentinian tango.

Twelve dancers from Buenos Aires, and the Tanguisimo orchestra present the mystery, nostalgia, sensual and magical world of Portenos and Milongas, the traditional and contemporary tango.

Mythologized by Gardel, exalted by Piazzolla, Tango is more than ever a true art of life, the essence of a nation, the deep soul of Argentina.
Drawing from tango’s tumultuous sources, Otango also had to devote itself to draw its present portrait and its future, to glorify its most intimate feelings as well as its most violent ones.

Breathing into Tango a theatrical life, Otango prunes without concession the over performed clichés, so offering it an path determinedly different from traditional productions.

From its creation in Buenos Aires in June 2004, Otango had the luck to achieved a tremendous success, and has been performed since then in numerous countries such as Italy, Slovenia, Portugal, Latvia, Lithuania, France, Belgium, Cyprus...

While preserving the spirit of its first breath, its limits are constantly pushed away, in order to maintain the high quality level without which Otango would have no reason to be.

Continuing to enrich a wardrobe created exclusively for it, Otango counts at present about 60 original costumes. These noble or popular witnesses of shady time or golden ages keep in common the reflection of a sensuality and an eroticism always bound to tanguera’ spirit.
