‘Complicidades, Tango & Flamenco’ in TarraTangueando

TarraTangueando presents the play ‘Complicidades, Tango & Flamenco’ within the framework of the Festival on Saturday, August 2^nd at 9 PM at the Teatre Metropol in Tarragona.

The voice of the singer 'La Carbonera' brings to the development of this complicity, which from the sound and movement creates a deep communication.

The excellence and ductility of the dancer Amador Rojas and the passion of international Pilar Alvarez and Claudio Hoffmann, thrill and seduce with the plasticity of their movements.

Covered by the sensuality of tango and flamenco, in a traditional format, extend the boundaries of both. A moving work.
