With MARÍA DE BUENOS AIRES, Astor Piazzolla (1921-1992) composed a declaration of love to the tango and to his home city of Buenos Aires, which takes on a human form in the title character María, the city saint who originally gave the work its name. María is both a saint and a sinner, desired and abandoned, a lover and a sufferer, caught in a web of violence, sexuality, longings and fantasies.

This production understands Piazzolla's MARÍA DE BUENOS AIRES as a projection screen for longings and hopes. It takes up the various levels of the metaphorical imagery and uncovers the hidden layers of the work while returning the agency of the storytelling to its main character. 

"Rarely can one experience dance and music theater in such a symbiotic and captivating fusion as this delightful and touching interpretation of Astor Piazzolla and Horacio Ferrer's Operita. Singers, dancers and orchestra are one, movement, song and music can no longer be separated. Anyone who is not carried away and moved by this is truly beyond help. That's for sure. " - Mittelbayrische
