Purdue Convocations

Revealing the formal strengths and fascinating differences between Argentine tango and contemporary dance partnering, Sin Salida/In Love I Broke Beyond examines the fundamental connection point of tango: the frame, or “abrazo” (embrace) – a structure designed to connect, or perhaps bind, human beings to one another. A full-evening work performed by three tango dancers and two contemporary dancers with live music performed by Argentinean composer Gustavo Beytelmann, Sin Salida/In Love I Broke Beyond explores multiple layers of desire among the five dancers, blending genders, personalities, and movement languages to unusual and scintillating effect.
