A Sadler’s Wells production

The perfect romantic treat for Valentine's Weekend

In m¡longa, internationally revered wunderkind Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui collaborates with an incredibly talented cast of Argentinean dancers and live musicians to create a show that brings his own unique style to tango. Featuring 12 superb dancers and 5 musicians, the work is a celebration of tango’s eternal embrace, an homage to its birthplace, and an exuberant display of innovation. Cherkaoui captures the drama of a traditional milonga and infuses it with modernist staging and exquisite, contemporary vocabulary. Dancers strut and  flicker across the stage like forked lightning” (The Guardian), their swivelling legwork at times mesmerizing. A fresh and electrifying work ultimately about the intensity and joy of dancing together.
