“Angels Devils and Mortals”
Parasol Arts welcomes another collaboration with the Atlas Tango Project on February 13th and 14th 2025 at the Dairy Arts Centre, Boulder. Parasol Arts was invited by the Orchestra of New Spain to perform “Angels and Devils” with the Atlas Tango Project in Dallas last February and the show was so successful that it was awarded a TACA pop up grant. We are proud to bring this reimagined show (originally presented in 2017) back to Colorado audiences as “Angels, Devils and Mortals” for two shows only.
“Angels, Devils and Mortals” is a stunning evening of dance blending the beauty of Ballet with the earthiness and passion of Argentine Tango all to live music by the Atlas Tango Project, formerly the Austin Piazzolla Quintet.
Internationally acclaimed Argentine Tango dancers Diana Cruz and Donato Juarez join tango dancers from Parasol Arts in “Mortals” a series of vignettes portraying different scenarios of human relationships.
Former and current Principal dancers from Colorado Ballet, Dana Benton and Jonnathan Ramirez portray an ethereal angel, representing love and light, and a sultry devil, representing fear and the dark side of human nature, in “Angels and Devils” a story of darkness and light.
Created and directed by Lorita Travaglia, this specially curated program filled with passion, drama, joy and humor will delight audience members of all ages and is a perfect Valentine’s outing.

Review for this program which was presented by the Orchestra of New Spain in Dallas Texas at the Moody Performance Hall in February of 2024:
“Atlas Tango Project (ATP) and Parasol Arts (PA) captivated us with the beautiful but edgy production of Angels and Devils, with its tango couples, a luminous white Angel on pointe, and a lurking, powerfully dark and sexy presence circling the stage, demonstration of forces of light and dark in this Piazzolla Suite, Serie del Angel.
"Angels and Devils", a drama told in Tango was a beautifully creative work in a performance elevated to remarkable levels by the skilled dancers, the talented musicians, and the totality of the artistic event.
Whether participating or watching, it was a delightful evening immersed in one of the most dramatic and accessible dance genres. The bandoneon and other superb musicians of the Atlas Tango Project won new devotees to this exhilarating music.”
