Earth and Fire Walking – A Tango Love Story

A tango dance show representing a modern romance in the language of tango dance and physical theatre. Cast: Tomas Galvan & Gimena Herrera – dancers and Special Guest Artist: Camila Lima, voice.

This theatrical production guides us through an impassioned love story, employing the eloquence of Argentine tango and the expressiveness of physical theater.  Earth and Fire Walking  is a stereotype-defying love story. Two wanderers navigating between city life and nature’s embrace. Joy. Pain. Love; as pure and elemental as Earth and Fire. Written, directed, and performed by Tomas Galvan and Gimena* Herrera (*say it like: He-māy-na) with Special Guest: Camila Lima.

This tale of modern love is drawn from the inspiration of the Argentine poet and artist, Atahualpa Yupanqui*, a pivotal figure in Argentine folklore artistry. His poetry resonates with the solitude of traversing the vast expanses of Argentine terrain, encapsulating profound contemplations about life and our interconnectedness with the world.  (say it: Ah-tah-WAHL-pah   you-PAN-key)

Earth and Fire Walking  represents not only the global landscape but also delves into the intricate landscape of the human heart, the very source from which tango’s essence springs forth. The performance unveils the journey of two individuals reveling in the essence of life with every gesture, every tune—a duo of wanderers chasing dreams, pilgrims on an unending journey. Their tango embodies the essence of both metropolitan life and the yearning for nature, mirroring the purity and elemental force of Earth and Fire.

What the critics have said:

” Their practiced, intricate footwork is mesmerizing as they burn up the Stage with fiery grace… A superb showcase of the most difficult couples’ discipline in dancing.”   –Chairman Barnes. American actor & writer

“Their precise, fervent attack, perfectly matched, is full of beautiful moves; sharp and exact, an elongated pause, where the next attack of heart-leading-body-to-move takes place…”their tango takes us through their urban life and the contrasting desert range of the Andes mountains, where they are from”. – Valerie Jean Miller for  Broadwayworld.com
