The world-renowned Tango Buenos Aires journeys through the life of Argentina’s famous former first lady when it brings performances of “The Song of Eva Perón” to George Mason University’s Center for the Arts in Fairfax on Saturday, March 7, 2015 at 8 p.m. and the Hylton Performing Arts Center in Manassas on Sunday, March 8, 2015 at 4 p.m.
Pre-performance discussions, free to ticketholders, will be held 45 minutes prior to each performance in the Buchanan Partners Art Gallery at the Hylton Center and Grand Tier III at the Center for the Arts (sponsored by the Friends of the Center for the Arts).
This masterful ensemble of dancers, singers and musicians use the art of the tango to tell the larger-than-life story of Evita, from her dizzying ascent from an impoverished childhood in the slums to a successful career in radio and film, and culminating in her becoming one of the country’s most powerful and influential figures. The production is choreographed by acclaimed tango dancer, teacher and choreographer Héctor Falcón, who first earned his diploma as a professor of Argentine folk dance at the young age of 15, and has since brought his incredible talents to some of the most renowned tango houses in Buenos Aires.
