Bodies mingle and meet in the Buenos Aires dance-hall setting of m¡longa—a revelatory new take on the sensual art of tango from celebrated contemporary choreographer Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui. The production features twelve dancers and an Argentinean tango band of five musicians.

“Simply astonishing. Has tango ever been given a fonder or more imaginative makeover?”
-Mark Monahan, The Daily Telegraph, UK

“Cherkaoui’s "m¡longa" makes you you feel as if you’ve stumbled into a fantasy dance hall, and you’re the luckiest wallflower in town.”
-Keith Watson, Metro, UK
