Argentina explores the heart of traditional Argentine folklore via a series of choreographed tableaux retracing a history rich in original culture. The unique mise en scene of the dance mixed with awe-inspiring traditional songs performed by the musicians make it unique. Poetic, riveting and moving, this live performance choreographed by Carlos Saura calls on the entire history of a country set to the tune of guitars and accordions. Argentina shows through the music and dance of Argentinian folklore a country and its people, a landscape, a story and how this has shaped a way of being that remains fascinating.. “I always had the urge to shoot Argentinian music, especially for the wealth of its zambas and chacareras, what you call folklore.” —Carlos Saura
