Experience the soul of tango in an evening created by Mariana Parma with tango dancer Leonardo Sardella, Latin Grammy-award-winner Pedro Giraudo and his Tango Quartet featuring singer Sofia Tosello. Presented by Works & Process in conjunction with the Guggenheim Museum exhibition Harmony and Dissonance: Orphism in Paris, 1910–1930, see the connection between works by Orphist artists, including Sonia Delaunay, and the circular forms, spirals, arching patterns and constellations of paired bodies moving with the synthesis and electric tension emblematic of tango. A social dance, tango enables people of different ages, cultures, and backgrounds to meet in an “embrace.” Originated in the 1880s along the Rio de la Plata between Argentina and Uruguay, the tango quickly spread to the rest of the world, including Paris, and intertwined with the artists of the Orphist movement.

At 8 pm, come dance in the rotunda with the NYCity Tango Collective! This group of professional dancers from Argentina and Uruguay with more than 25 years of experience aims to spread tango throughout NYC. In conjunction with the Guggenheim’s Member Mondays and with the Guggenheim’s exhibition Harmony and Dissonance: Orphism in Paris, 1910–1930, Works & Process opens the Guggenheim rotunda to NYCity Tango for a tango dance class taught by the collective and followed by a social dance party.

Ticket Holders are welcome to explore exhibitions on view at the Guggenheim starting at 6 pm.

Tickets start at $15 and can be purchased at https://www.worksandprocess.org/calendar/works-and-process-at-the-guggenheim-tangoessence-pedrogiraudo
