Xi Liu (China/UK)
An original ballroom duet inspired by the golden age of 1930s Shanghai, blending the elegance of Chinese Cheongsam culture with the passion and drama of Argentine tango. Set to the music of Carlos Gardel’s Por Una Cabeza, this stylised performance evokes the smoky glamour of Raymond Yiu’s Night Shanghai. Through dramatic partnering, musicality and movement, the piece explores cross-cultural themes of tension, tenderness and transformation. Accompanied by a fusion soundtrack of traditional Chinese instruments and tango rhythms, Tango in Silk offers a poetic and emotionally charged journey across cultural borders.
