Kinetic Play

Two veterans of stage tango jettison the high heels and choreography that are the hallmark of their nightly work in search of a more personal expression of tango. Set to the music of contemporary Argentinian composer Diego Schissi, this portrait captures an ongoing search by these artists to forge a personal expression of tango that is indifferent to its marketability in the tango tourist industry.
