Consider the tango. More a visual language than a mere shuffling of feet, the dance is aggressively romantic and frankly bedroom-eyed, defined by the grand theatrical gesture but still a deeply private public act of connection. Doing the tango is like puffing on a fragrant cigar under a South American moon after years of smoking unfiltered Camels in a windowless rat shack in Dubuque.
Speaking of proper ventilation, the tango is at its most amorous in a space without walls. That’s how it’ll be at Tango First Century, a first-rate paean to the history of the form, from the 1930s to now, by the Romulo Larrea Tango Ensemble.
