Between Piazzola and Ravel: The Ballet of the San Martín Theater, Buenos Aires

The Contemporary Ballet of the San Martin Theater, established in 1977, is recognized as the first official company in Argentina dedicated to modern dance. This program showcases three iconic pieces that take the audience on a journey through tango, contemporary dance, and folklore from the southern continent. The pieces include Ravel's Bolero, choreographed by Ana María Stekelman; the dance solo Ahí viene el rey, set to the music of Astor Piazzolla's Canto de Octubre and choreographed by Ana Itelman; and Estaciones porteñas, a choreography created in 1997 by Mauricio Wainrot to commemorate the 90th anniversary of Piazzolla's birth.
