*Valetango Company: Confianza (Trust) (4/30/22)

In Confianza, four performers investigate how to listen deeply and open a door to transformation. They ask when trust is a burden and when a gift, when well grounded and when elusive and if it’s possible to love powerfully without compromising one’s own center. Confianza, which means trust in Spanish, highlights tango’s main legacy: the radical lead-follow interdependency, and expands it beyond embrace. In tango, even the smallest shift of weight is a step. There are no set counts and no set patterns. There is only a communication of weight, direction, intensity, and timing. The company translates tango improvisation to a broad dance vocabulary while investigating the fragile balance of trust and distrust negotiated in ambivalent relationships and exploring the impact of trust as a source of meaning and growth.
