On the fourth day of the festival, the Opera and Ballet Theatre hosted the final showing of the performance "Wild Tango" by the Germán Cornejo Company.
Germán Cornejo's performance presented the heritage of Argentinean culture, tango, in all its diversity, connecting it with other dance styles and even elements of the circus.
"Our production is based on two ideas that we would like to embody and demonstrate," said Germán Cornejo. - Firstly, this is a real celebration of Argentine culture, associated with everything that identifies our national identity. We didn't want to limit ourselves to tango only, we wanted to go beyond it, so we found some place for folklore, rock, tango, milonga, and even folk dance malambo. This mix demonstrates our national character, and therefore our performance is somewhat wider than Buenos Aires itself, which is always stereotypically associated with tango. Secondly, we wanted to immerse ourselves a little into the history of the origin of dance, which was originally male. Tango originated in the port areas, where not the most "decent" people lived and where women were prohibited to enter, and that is why men danced it among themselves. They competed with each other to win the heart of the lady they liked. Our idea was to adapt it to modern conditions and show how it could look now, after more than a hundred years in the realities of urban life, but at the same time to pay tribute to history."
