DEATH DANCES THE TANGO.

Born in the slums of Buenos Aires “one day when God was drunk,” Maria turns to the city in a desperate quest for freedom, falling in love with its tango rhythms.  A dark, surreal story told in song and dance, this “tango opera” by the legendary Argentine composer Ástor Piazzolla has been widely acclaimed since its premiere.

Don’t miss these 85 minutes of theatrical exhilaration, stunning music, and extraordinary dancing, featuring the Kanopy Dance Company.

Performing at the Overture Center for the Arts
