Famous for riveting performances that combine sensuality, sophistication and the true essence of tango, Argentina's premium dance company Corporacion Tango join the Tempo Dance Festival with the acclaimed stage sensation Heaven, Earth & Hell.

Tracing the history of tango from traditional to contemporary times Heaven, Earth and Hell symbolizes the high emotional states experienced by the human soul Cielo, Tierra and Infierno in a passionate and seductive three act performance.

'Cielo' (Latin for 'sky') details the ethereal tango and its romantic, poetic and sensual impact on the soul. 'Tierra' ('earth') showcases the traditional 'salon dancing' that Argentinean tango is renowned for, evoking the feelings that man is always trying to conserve his roots and origins.

'Infierno' ('hell') embraces modern tango as a means to describe the darker side of the soul - liberal, transgression, and the search for evolution by crossing limits and arriving beyond.

Set to the powerful music of traditional Argentinean tango, the creators of Heaven, Earth and Hell have eliminated the typical literal stereotypes which detract from their purpose of delivering 'pure' dance and conserving the raw essence of the tango's principle role - maximum expression!
