The Weeping Salsa explores the relationship of Danny and Adele (performed by Cubrt and Donna Christo), a pair of star-crossed lovers whose lives are inextricably tied together well after their love affair has ended. We first meet them in dark circumstances where Danny drugs Adele and takes her back to his apartment after having not seen her for many years. We meet them again, eight years earlier, during the last days of their relationship while they are having a final impromptu rehearsal on the day of their big performance at the Canada Salsa Congress.

Using dance to explore the timbres of their relationship, The Weeping Salsa deals with themes of sensuality, emotional dependency, and the delicate balance of power in relationships.
