Tango Tango time at Theatre Royal

Passion and drama will be unleashed on stage when Tango Tango comes to Windsor's Theatre Royal on Saturday.

Be transported into the world of Buenos Aires and swept away by the music of revolutionary composer Astor Piazzolla.

Award winning musician and author Justin Pearson has created a show that captures a fascinating story behind the most intimate of dances.

"The big surprise for people is that they come to see dance and they realise it's as much about the music as well," he said.

He has visited Windsor several time before with shows such as Mozart by Candlelight and has also created shows about Beethoven and Haydn.

"I like to introduce people to composers and hopefully reveal something behind the music, " he said.
His describes Piazzolla has a 'genius' and said: "He's one of the greatest musicians of the twentieth century."

Through music and dance the show will weave a tale of a passionate outsider who fought for his music and revolutionised traditional tango.

Justin said: "The golden age of Tango was still so revered that when he tried new techniques he was literally beaten up because people were so upset."

His music will be performed by five-piece band Tango Volcano with the melancholy voice of the band creating the authentic tango sound.
