From the very beginnings of the “Emilio Balcarce” Tango Orchestra School (Orquesta Escuela), the U.S. film director Caroline Neal was present recording the conception and foundation of what was originally just the dream of Ignacio Varchausky, the double bass player and artistic director of TangoVia.
The rehearsals, the first performance in a small neighborhood tango club, the international debut in Paris, and the triumphant night in the Colón Theater are all integral chapters in this story.
The film creates a portrait of oral transmission from one generation to another, between Emilio Balcarce and the young students, in a magical journey through the tango tradition.
The film is available in DVD through Transeuropa Video, Amazon, and Netflix. It is subtitled in Spanish, English, French and Italian. The DVD has both stereo and Dolby 5.0 surround sound and many extras.
