Homage to Tango Argentino in World Tango Festival
Sergio Segura
October 17, 2005
On the night of October 13th, 2005 Anton Gazenbeek and Natalie Laruccia gave an unforgettable performance in tribute to the Show Tango Argentino in "La noche de los Jovenes" (Night of Young Dancers)in the World Tango Festival 2005 at the Confiteria Ideal in Buenos Aires. This was the first public homage to Tango Argentino carried out in Argentina and also the first time a professional North American couple has been invited to perform in the World Tango Festival in Buenos Aires. This was a truly historic night in Buenos Aires and one that will be remembered for years to come.
There were over 500 people in attendance from all over the world. Anton & Natalie danced two songs from the show in authentic costume, hair & make up from the historic show, and in the choreography they performed one figure from each of the couples that was in the show. Many of the dancers from the original cast including Gloria & Eduardo Arquimbau, Carlos y Maria Rivarola, Carolina Iotti and Nelida Rodriguez were present to receive this homage.
It was a tremendous success and extremely well received by the audience. Although there were many moments of applause during the performance, the loudest applause came when Anton and Natalie broke into the famous high-speed Copes and Nieves variacion at the end of Quejas de Bandoneon. The crowd absolutely went wild with applause.
This presentation was the culmination of many years of research into the Show Tango Argentino conducted by dancer and choreographer Anton Gazenbeek, who is considered an expert and an authority on the show. The couple will repeat the presentation on November 8th in Salon Canning during the Third Cultural Encounter of Tango Dancers held by the AMBCTA (Asociacion de Bailarines, Maestros, y Coreografos de Tango Argentino).
