Los Guardiola - The Comedy of Tango
— THE BARREL ORGAN
In 1929 Roberto Torres wrote for the tango Organito del Suburbio by Antonio Bonavena.
This scene, inspired by the tango of the same name, pays homage to the first instrument to popularise the tango in the streets of Buenos Aires: the barrel organ. The street musicians who played the barrel organ – the organ grinders – now only exist in the memory of the tangos dedicated to them.
— THE EMIGRANT
In 1928 Vicente Martínez Cuitiño wrote for
the tango Tanita de la Proa by Salvador Merico.
This scene tells the story of a young Italian
woman who travels to Buenos Aires by boat
and meets a local Argentine.
— THE BACHELOR PAD
In 1924 Carlos Lenzi wrote for the famous tango A Media Luz by Edgardo Donato.
The Bachelor Pad is performed on a box. The box
is a metaphor for a bulin, an apartment used for
sexual encounters inspired by the famous apartment
in Buenos Aires on the second floor of 348
Avenue Corrientes.
— THE FALL
In 1924 Robert Cayol wrote for the tango Noches de Colón (The Colón Theatre) by Raul de Los Hoyos.
Inspired by the tango Noches de Colón, The Fall tells the story of the rise and fall of a Buenos
Aires dandy in the 1920s who went from a nobleman to a beggar.
— TO EACH THEIR OWN TANGO
In 1942 Marvil wrote for the tango Asi se baila el Tango by Elias Randal.
This scene features a dance between a milonguero
(salon tango dancer) and a ballroom tango dancer. As they embrace, two similar yet distant worlds collide...
— BETRAYAL
In 1930 Iván Diez wrote the poem Amablemente (Kindly). The great singer Edmundo Rivero put the words to music in 1963.
Inspired by the tango of the same name, the scene explores the vindictiveness of men against free women
— PAPER HEART
In 1929 Alberto Franco for the tango Corazòn de Papel by Catulo Castillo.
Poetic and dreamlike, this dance and mime performance is loosely based on the tango Corazòn de Papel and takes viewers on a journey to a fantasy world.
