A world of love, respect and care. We would love to place our intention to build the bridges that connect us all with an infinite source of Love. This is an invitation to come and share the dance with us in the opening night of the Contemporary Tango Festival in Berlin Hauptbahnhof. Come and dance a new world…" Tango Absinthe from Milano explores the world of tango in all its intensity, starting from the traditional tango to get to the evolutions and fusions with other musics, both in Argentina and in the rest of the world has undergone tango, without losing irresistible force that characterizes it. Musically rich contamination and research done in total freedom, beyond style, playing with it, bringing it back to those ports in the world who have embraced the tango and they did it, with its different sounds, themes, with its stereotypes of exoticism and the curiosity for the new soundscapes. Free entrance, no registration necessary The Contemporary Tango Festival is dedicated to the global variety of Tango Argentino and the impact of this dance on all the international musicians, dancers, artists, performers who live and work in Berlin. Dance the world in Berlin Central Station! You are also invited just to watch and enjoy the scene as a spectator.
