Context and Artistic Process

Created specifically for the public space of Parque Centenario during the 9th Cambalache Festival, the performance transformed the park into the setting for a collective ritual in which performers and spectators shared the same environment without conventional theatrical boundaries.

The dramaturgy was built around a symbolic resurrection ceremony. Through movement, processional actions and theatrical images, the ensemble searched for the “body” of tango—not as a historical style to be preserved, but as a living practice constantly negotiated between memory, tradition and contemporary culture. The work embraced parody and ritual simultaneously, using humour to question nostalgic narratives while proposing new ways of inhabiting tango in the present.

As Co-Director, I collaborated with José Garófalo in developing the artistic concept, dramaturgy and performative language of the project, investigating how tango could function as both cultural memory and contemporary performative practice within the urban landscape.

As Co-Director of Compañía Tragicómica Tanguera (2011–2015), I contributed to the company’s long-term artistic research, developing site-specific performances that reimagined tango through theatre, choreography and public space, alongside my credited role in this production.
