Sensual and sophisticated, Forever Tango features twelve world-class tango dancers, a vocalist and an orchestra of eleven musicians on stage, including four badoneones, tango's signature instrument, in an evening celebrating the passionate music and dance of Argentina. The dances, performed to original and traditional music.
“Tango is a feeling that is danced,” says Bravo, ”a story that is told in three minutes. It is passionate, melancholic, it has tenderness and violence, it is danced with someone, but it is so internal that you dance it alone, two intentions that go together..... More than just a dance, tango is music, drama, culture, a way of life”.
