Gustavo Russo, the well-known dancer and choreographer is back again, presen- ting his show Tango Seduccion, which has delighted and moved audiences in France, Austria, Holland, Russia, Poland, Greece, Lithuania, Korea, Israel, Arab Emirates, Brazil, Chile, Turkey and Taiwan for the last 10 years. His show has been acclaim- med by the public at many of the most important international stages, such as the Olympia Theatre in Paris, the Opera House in Jerusalem, the Kremlin Theatre in Moscow, the Stad Halle in Vienna, the RAI Theatre in Amsterdam and the Chungmu Art Hall in Seoul and his work has been praised by the specialized press, thanks to his incomparable and unique choreographic talent.




Tango Seduccion, with its powerful energy and virtuosity, draws the spectator into the heat of the passion born of this exotic and highly erotic dance which Gustavo Russo moulds and manipulates in a way which only he can. The extraordinary cast of artists on stage, which includes 14 dancers, 5 musicians and a singer, bring the story of this show to life. It is a tale of great descriptive beauty which portrays the intimate dialogue between the artist and the dance, his inspiration, the road he travels in search of beauty and the stories behind its creation.

From the first scene until the final act, Tango Seduccion offers an infinite number of renewed choreographic images, based on the Tango dance’s many original and traditional forms, in their purest expression. Gustavo Russo elevates these to their highest expression and presents them on stage, where they evolve into an avant-garde and transgressing creation, expressed in the language of this dance form
In the first part of the show, seven couples, all dancers, relive the magic of Tango with extraordinary virtuosity and style, recreating themselves through a number of group performances that mutate from symmetrical or asymmetrical numbers into solos that walk the thin line between technique and artistic beauty.



The audience communes with and relives the true spirit of Tango and from here on, in the second part of the show, the author transports the public to the very heart of the artist and the experiences that are the highlights of his work. Moved by certain dramatic events that occur in the world around him, the choreographer tells us stories presented by various characters that become interwoven through the dance steps of Tango, at times recalling the Greek Myth. Tango Seducción is a journey through the universe of Gustavo Russo, a communion with art, his quests and transformations, all seen from his most inner perspective.
