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.
