Overview

Among the shadows of the darkest streets, there are bodies that dance and others that wound each other. In this piece, Villaverde intertwines these two nocturnal worlds, populated by fights, death, and trouble, as if in a dance. Tacón is based on a text by Jorge Luis Borges that reflects on tango and, with the poetry of its words, traces a reflection on the passage of time and death. Borges gave several lectures on tango in his native Buenos Aires. The genre fascinated him, as it was a portal to the dark and violent Buenos Aires that had so inspired his verses and prose. A prevailing darkness and tension pervade the visual vision of Tacón, accentuated, also, by the music of the Argentinian Astor Piazzolla.
