From internationally acclaimed choreographer Germán Cornejo comes Argentina’s Tango After Dark—a breathtaking theatrical tango experience that fuses the soul of Buenos Aires with the sophistication of the 21st century. Featuring World Tango Champions Cornejo and Gisela Galeassi, a company of 10 world-class dancers, two powerful vocalists, and a seven-piece live band, this unforgettable production brings to life the revolutionary music of Argentine legend Astor Piazzolla. 
 
Piazzolla’s evocative compositions—spanning the full arc of his career—become the heartbeat of this performance, guiding a thrilling journey through tango’s past and future. Deeply inspired by Piazzolla’s bold musical innovation, Cornejo stretches the boundaries of tango, blending its melancholy passion with cutting-edge choreography to create a uniquely personal, emotionally charged language of dance. 
 
Performed to sold-out crowds in London and around the globe, Tango After Dark is a sensual, stylish spectacle of extraordinary talent. Glamorous costumes, virtuosic dancing, and Cornejo’s signature blend of tradition and modernity have earned praise from celebrities like Jennifer Lopez and Simon Cowell. 
 
Tango After Dark is the ultimate tribute to Piazzolla’s genius and the irresistible power of tango.
