Two people of a certain age, with tangled pasts, find each other at a dance retreat in Buenos Aires. A spark is lit and their passion smolders – this was meant to be.But one has work and family ties in South America; the other in North Devon.
They settle into the frustrations of a long-distance relationship, sustained by regular tango sessions in Argentina that include unexpected delights of the imagination. And then one of them weighs the ecological consequences. A multi story mix of stories ancient and modern, music, song and tango.
Gill and Bill are based in North Devon and, as multi story theatre company, have spent the last twenty four years creating new work that responds to the times we live in. "As theatre creators, and as audience members, we’re passionate about work that’s rooted in the local but speaks of the universal"
“I just loved it! It felt like you expressed lots of different threads about what it is to be alive and human at this time of my life, in this age. And you wove those threads into something that for me, expressed a beautiful freedom of the dance of the heart. Thank you both for creating something that could do that... it's very special"
“A quietly but profoundly moving play, leavened with clear-eyed hope and a knowing affection for middle-aged foibles. The culmination - so far, at least - of a career-long commitment to contemporary small-scale theatre: warm, engaging, and infused with a deep understanding of the theatre maker’s craft.” - Mark Wallace, Director, Beaford Art
The show runs for 1 hour 15 min no interval but refreshments included & dancing afterwards if people wish.
