Tango in Silk


Xi Liu (China/UK)

An original ballroom duet inspired by the golden age of 1930s Shanghai, blending the elegance of Chinese Cheongsam culture with the passion and drama of Argentine tango. Through dramatic partnering, musicality, and movement, Tango in Silk explores cross-cultural themes of tension, tenderness, and transformation. Accompanied by a fusion soundtrack of traditional Chinese instruments and tango rhythms, the show offers a poetic and emotionally charged journey across cultural borders.
