Tango Metropolis is a highly innovative tango show created by Music Director Daniel Binelli, Choreographer and Stage Director Pilar Alvarez, and Artistic Director Claudio Hoffmann. Using music by Binelli, Piazzolla, Salgan, Mores, Firpo, Gardel and others, it adds new musical and choreographic forms of tango, dynamically and theatrically expressed, to the traditional repertoire.
