Tango Nights at the Baxter Theatre

Bovim Ballet is bringing their alluring full-length dance sensation Tango Nights to the Baxter Theatre

The show combines the sensuality of tango with the athleticism of rock ballet en-pointe in a high impact production that has thus far received standing ovations in Durban and Port Elizabeth following on the company’s launch season at the Artscape Theatre in Cape Town in February 2009.

Bovim Ballet is under the artistic directorship of its founder, the award-winning choreographer Sean Bovim. The production has been beautifully costumed by the acclaimed international designers Malcolm Klûk and Christiaan Gabriel du Toit, with lighting by Daniel Galloway and the set design by Karl Staub, resulting in a production that is a veritable feast for the eyes.

The music for Tango Nights includes the powerful ‘Roxanne’ from the film Moulin Rouge and Gotan Project.

Adding the twists and turns in the story and enticing the audience all the way to the show’s ultimate dramatic conclusion, are dancers Darren Greef, Grant Swift, Devon Marshbank, Ignatius Van Heerden, James Bradley, Shaun Brian Murphy, Kirsten Isenberg, Jennnifer Middleton, Faye Dubinski, Taryn Makaab, Nicola Marais, Alexandra Potgieter and Tracey Aaron.

They are superbly lead by principal dancers Kerryn Howard, Andre Sauer, Tanya Futter and Marc Golderg, who take the audience on a dazzling journey to Café Tango, weaving a love story through tantalising and sensuous dance sequences.
