Back by popular demand, Piazzolla En Sus Palabras tells the story of Astor Piazzolla, Argentina's illustrious musician and composer of the 20th century who revolutionized the music of Tango and created Tango Nuevo. Using Piazzolla's own words, Parasol Arts' Creative Director, Lorita Travaglia, created the script for actor Joey Wishnia who portrays an older Piazzolla reminiscing about his life, his music and his lovers. Piazzolla's music is played live by the Austin Piazzolla Quintet and the characters of Piazzolla at different ages, as well as people in his life are all portrayed by professional Argentine Tango dancers from Parasol Arts, Natural Tango and the Colorado Ballet. Previous performances of Piazzolla En Sus Palabras have all sold out. "Astor Piazzolla's music revolutionized Argentine Tango and his life was as rich, diverse and complex as his music," offers Lorita Travaglia, "Inspired by this, Piazzolla En Sus Palabras is a colorful, entertaining and moving story of the life and music of Piazzolla, told in his own words. The production is the marriage of theatre, artistically enhanced by the talents of professional Argentine Tango and Ballet dancers, and Piazzolla's music, played live by the Austin Piazzolla Quintet. If you enjoy great music, beautiful dance and good theatre, do not miss this production. It is truly a feast for the senses."Videos
