dedicated to MICHA VAN HOECKE

In memory of and on the occasion of Micha van Hoecke’s 80th birthday, Aria Tango (2013) is revived by Miki Matsuse for Balletto di Milano and Versiliana Festival. Made to pieces by Luis Bacalov, Oscar winner for the soundtrack of the film “Il postino,” which has its roots in Tango and Gypsy culture, it is a “choreographic poem” in which van Hoecke, without any didactic intent, in a timeless and surreal atmosphere, recounts states of mind, fears, fears, passions.
