ASTOR A CENTURY OF TANGO

The Balletto di Roma in 2021 begins a journey through the suggestions and sounds of tango on the occasion of the centenary of the birth of Astor Piazzolla (Mar del Plata, 11 March 1921), author and musical interpreter among the most important of this art form born in the late ‘800 in the suburbs of Buenos Aires. Born from the need to communicate between different cultures, languages and traditions, tango reminds us who we are, where we come from and what was the path that has indissolubly united distant humanity in a common “no place”, crossing oceans and borders. The sea is the common thread that unites or separates new worlds and hopes: an immense space to cross where you risk getting lost; vortex of ebbs and wave motion that marks the rhythm of departures and returns.
