Starring Anna Trebunskaya ("Dancing with the Stars"), FOREVER TANGO features 12 world-class tango dancers, one vocalist and an on-stage eight-piece orchestra, including the bandoneon - the instrument of the tango - in an evening that celebrates the passionate music and dance of Argentina. The dances, performed to original and traditional music, are the result of collaboration between each couple and director/creator Bravo.
"The tango is a feeling that you dance," says Bravo, "a story you tell in three minutes. It's passionate, it's melancholic. It's tender, violent. You dance it with somebody – but it is so internal, you dance it by yourself. More than just a dance, the tango is music, a drama, a culture, a way of life."
Sensuous and sophisticated, the tango inhabits a world where everything can be said with the flick of a leg, the tug of a hand, the tap of a foot and the arch of an eyebrow. Created and directed by Luis Bravo, FOREVER TANGO was voted "Best Touring Musical" by Bay Area Theatre Critics Circle in San Francisco where it played an unprecedented 92 weeks at the Theatre on the Square and has returned season after season. Truly an international event, FOREVER TANGO was also awarded the coveted Simpatia Prize at the 1996 Spoleto Festival in Italy.
The performance schedule is as follows: February 15, 16, 17 at 8 p.m. February 18 at 2 & 8 p.m. and February 19at 2 p.m. A special Valentine's Day (February 14) performance of FOREVER TANGO will take place in the beautiful and elegant Commandants Room at the Marines' Memorial Club and Hotel, just upstairs from the Marines' Memorial Theatre.
