Danzas

from Taboo to Triumph

DANZAS - from taboo to triumph: initially frowned upon and forbidden, but finally socially accepted and à la mode: in several waves - around 1600 with the sarabande and ciaccona and around 1900 with the tango - the infectious rhythms of Latin American dances conquered the whole of Europe and led to a kind of dance fever. Some celebrated the liberation of the body, others saw it as the downfall of the West. Nevertheless, the bans imposed by the authorities did nothing to diminish its popularity. In this "crossover" project by La Ninfea, genres and dances meet and mingle. Historical dances are suddenly transformed into a tango, while a tango appears in baroque dress. A musical bridge across centuries and social conventions!
