to top The Process of Choreographic Creation
Pilot choreographic experience: four days of creativity Come see how choreographers create. Sneak a look at the creative process. As never before, the audience can witness the process of choreographic creation. A group of dancing couples will be directed by different choreographers (Claudio González & Melina Brufman, Laura Roatta, Leonardo Cuello y Milena Plebs), who, by means of practical exercises, improvisations and short group stagings, will convey their concepts on creation. In each of the four-hour sessions, each choreographer will work with the same group of dancers; they will tackle many different topics related to tango or its fusion with other genres, depending on their own choice. The aim of the experience is to provide the opportunity for the audience to witness an activity which usually takes place behind closed doors: the rehearsal with the dancers and they process by which each choreographer leaves their personal imprint. Idea and coordination: Milena Plebs. Assistant: Ezequiel Farfaro.

Opening Ceremony of the Dance World CupTeatro Avenidato top The Independent Scene
A season of independent companies invites us to embark on a journey of virtuoso performances, theatrical humour, new trends, Creole connection, traditional forms and dancing couples as the basic cell of tango.
Tango Elemento - Claudio González y Melina Brufman
The Independent SceneTeatro 25 de MayoEarth, water, fire, air. And a fifth element that encompasses them all and sets them in motion. The fifth element can only be sensed, it is hidden in the mystery of the blood. The fifth element is passion, the vital impulse, the positive pole in permanent connection with the negative pole. Man and woman: tango. Five elements constitute the world. They converge like rivers in the hearts of mankind.
Choreography, General Direction and Dancers: Melina Brufman and Claudio González
Guest singer: Andrea Panone
Tango Cuidadano - Esteban Domenichini
The Independent SceneTeatro 25 de MayoEsteban Domenichini is the lead dancer of the musical Tanguera and the artistic director of Michelangelo tango house. He danced for Juan Carlos Copes in his show Copes Tango Copes, as well as for singers Soledad Pastorutti and Marcela Morelo.
Tango - Roberto Herrera
The Independent SceneTeatro 25 de MayoHistoric and modern compositions combine in two acts. Dance is the master of the stage. The company delivers impressive choreographies with the live music of Quinteto Decarísimo and a brief space for Argentine folklore from a contemporary and urban perspective. Featuring Estanislao Herrera as guest artist and musical direction by Ariel Rodríguez.
Propuesta Cinco - Dos extraños son y La última curda
The Independent SceneTeatro 25 de MayoPropuesta 5 breaks with all conventions and clichés. They offer not only unusual dance varieties, but also the many possibilities for couples and groups of three, four and five dancers. The duos are indistinctly made up of male-male and male-female partners. Their show ranges from the most sober and rigorous aspects of salon tango to the most kinetic side of neotango and stage tango. Featuring Augusto Balizano, Claudio González, Fernando Gracia, Miguel Moyano and Paula Rubín.
