With music, mask and story, dancer Margaret Spore presents a cast of fabricated characters from tango’s murky past who soon reappear as her contemporary partners. Despite love, betrayal and gender-angst, midlife heroine “Meg” displays a spirit of survival on the dance floor and brilliantly masters the courtship rituals of the passionate Argentines.
Review:
Tales From Tangoland
One-woman show par excellence!
"Meg Spore's sultry travel seminar on Tangoland comes complete with language and dance lessons. But, be forewarned: you might find yourself shown up by a tree branch if you attempt any of the luscious moves she demonstrates. Seamlessly incorporating a remarkable collection of props and costumes (including the aforementioned branch), Spore combines a history lesson, a subtle commentary on the power of women and a showcase of interpretive dance to produce a one-woman show par excellence."
John Scoles , Winnipeg Sun, 7/26/2000.
