Act I

They will lure you back in time to the origins of tango in the seedy bars of 1920's Buenos Aires, where the outcasts of society struggle with love, betrayal, joy and conflict.

You will be whisked to the streets and nightclubs of 1950's Caribbean, to experience the vibrant celebration of love and life that is salsa.

The mood changes, bringing us to the Argentine countryside of the late 1800s, where the gauchos sing and dance amidst danger and conflict.

Act II

The second act conveys modern excitement with superb lighting effects setting the mood for the contemporary interpretations of the dances.

We feel the pulsing rhythms of the salsa, and understand the dilemma of choosing between two lovers – salsa or tango? We surrender to the exotic sensuality of the tango, each dance telling a story of love or heartbreak.

And we revel in the energy of the gauchos, as the explosive rhythms of the drums, the swirling ponchos of the dancers, and the speed and intensity of the boleadoras proclaim the pride and determination of a rural culture.

Rhythm and Passion can captivate theater audiences of any size; the show can be modified to fit theater space, budget and style preference.
