“Clandestine”
The piece is conceived from the original idea of how tango originated historically as a social dance in marginalized areas as an underground, illicit, and clandestine dance form. We explore the idea of how it is to live in a society in which you could be marginalized because of cultural heritage, sexual orientation, social status, or the color of your skin. The idea of finding freedom when we embrace who we are even if we need to do it clandestinely, is explored and celebrated in this piece. This piece is a result of a collaboration between DRDT – Dorcas Roman Dance Theatre and VIDA – Vannia Ibarguen Dance Arts.
