WITH EUGENIA USANDIVARAS AND LEO CALVELLI

In her interpretation of the tango Jede Frau ist Schön (All women are beautiful), Raphaela Vogel pays tribute to and brings to life the work of Carla Boehl and Herich Hopp. For Robert Farris Thompson, tango is not only a brilliant dance, it is also a text, a music, an art and a philosophy of life. This is also the vision of dancers Eugenia Usandivaras and Leo Calvelli, who invite us to set our bodies in motion during an introduction to Argentine tango and to dance in the exhibition space around the artist's works.

Thursday 24 October from 6pm to 8pm. Free, registration required on 03 87 01 43 42 or publics@cac-synagoguedelme.org
