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. Set to the music of Carlos Gardel’s Por Una
Cabeza, this stylised performance evokes the smoky glamour of Raymond
Yiu’s Night Shanghai. Through dramatic partnering, musicality, and
movement, the piece explores cross-cultural themes of tension,
tenderness, and transformation. Accompanied by a fusion soundtrack of
traditional Chinese instruments and tango rhythms, Tango In Silk offers
a poetic and emotionally charged journey across cultural borders.
