Tango de Barrio (2024)
Director: Juliet McMains
Music: Sur | Luciana Jury & Milagros Caliva | Aníbal Troilo | Homero Manzi
Featuring: Maikel Dobarro and Carla Brandoni | 2m 39s
Maikel Dobarro and Carla Brandoni construct their tango de barrio on the streets of Boedo, where the iconic tango "Sur," written by Aníbal Troilo with lyrics by Homero Manzi, was once immortalized. The movements derive from a thinking and feeling, transfeminist, queer, decolonial and anti-racist, all these souths meet and potentiate, creating this unexpected current version. Two dancers embody the voice of Luciana Jury and breathe the bandoneon of Milagros Caliva, at the intersections of San Juan and Boedo and from the political-poetic force of dancing tango, they disturb the normative aesthetic rules. They flow between positions and embraces, between moments of synchronous and asynchronous complicity, as a duo and individually, with and without contact they enjoy dancing together, overflowing the limits of the scene.
