The Buenos Aires Tango Company, Estampas Porteñas present their newest production, “Deseos…Stories of Longing and Desire told through Argentine Tango and Music.” “Deseos” is a celebration of the greatest artistic elements of Argentina including the indomitable tango, the athletic malambo of the gauchos, and musical styles that range from the melancholic to celebratory. This new creation of artistic director, Carolina Soler, will also include advanced technical elements such as projection mapping, a method of illumination and projection that will allow the stage to be transformed instantaneously from a train station in rural Argentina, to a milonga in an urban barrio, to an outdoor plaza in Buenos Aires. “Deseos” promises to be the height of technical production matched by flawless and emotive dancing, and ardent, soul-filled music.

Estampas Porteñas company was founded in Buenos Aires in 1997 by the distinguished dancer and choreographer Carolina Soler.
