Later, a succession of humorous, nostalgic, sensual, and saucy
scenes looks back over the styles, feelings, atmospheres, and
colours of a hundred years of existence. The hippodrome, the
races and the Jockey Club provide the setting for unforgettable
moments played with irrepressible humour, flexibility, and magic
by their main characters, in a tribute to the favourite personages
and musical themes of the salons of yesteryear.
In the second half, Tango Metropolis and its cosmopolitan streets
portray love stories, encounters and farewells filled with intense
moments of passion and seduction, using the language of tango.
The bandoneon, the instrument that symbolizes the tango and
permeates its history, delivers a a stream of harmonies and
sounds which propel the bodies into a maelstrom of dance where
the artists can express the whole range of their interpretative
skills.
