路易．布拉佛   引領百萬觀眾見證    純度最高的探戈

由阿根廷大提琴家路易‧布拉佛（Luis Bravo）傾注畢生熱情鑄造的探戈舞劇《永恆的探戈》，自1990年聖地牙哥首演起，便以純粹的探戈血脈震撼全球。非舞者出身的布拉佛，憑藉與洛杉磯愛樂等頂尖樂團淬鍊的音樂靈魂，將街頭酒館的即興探戈昇華為劇場藝術——他以音符雕琢戲劇張力，用節奏復刻百年移民史，集結阿根廷最熾烈的舞者與樂手，讓探戈從布宜諾斯艾利斯的石板巷弄躍上世界殿堂。

​

這部「三分鐘人生劇場」屢創傳奇：1994年舊金山連演92週，獲封「最佳巡演音樂劇」；1997年登陸百老匯Walter Kerr劇院時，原定八週的演出因觀眾狂熱延燒十四個月，締造百老匯探戈劇最長紀錄，更挺進東尼獎最佳編舞決賽。千禧年之際，它橫跨三大洲點燃藝術烽火——1999年席捲亞洲後，於舊金山Theatre On The Square的跨年演出中擁抱新世紀，次年四月進軍歐洲，更在2003、2010年兩度以暴風般的肢體詩篇席捲台灣，2013年強勢回歸百老匯原劇場，證明經典永不褪色。

​

布拉佛以11人樂團與4位國寶級手風琴家為引擎，皮亞佐拉的旋律在舞者纏綿的足尖化為愛慾與孤獨的辯證。2025年迎來35週年之際，《永恆的探戈》以全新明星陣容淬鍊更濃烈的身體敘事，持續向世界宣告：探戈不僅是舞蹈，更是阿根廷獻給人類文明的靈魂勳章——在每個迴旋與頓步間，百年移民的歡愉與傷痛永恆復生。

INTERNATIONALLY  ACCLAIMED   SENSATION 

LUIS BRAVO'S   FOREVER TANGO

​

​

Sensuous and sophisticated, the tango inhabits a world where everything can be said with the flick of a leg, the tug of a hand, the tap of a foot and the arch of an eyebrow. Created and directed by Luis Bravo, FOREVER TANGO was voted Best Touring Musical by Bay Area Theatre Critics Circle in San Francisco where it played an unprecedented 92 weeks at the Theater on the Square and has returned season after season. Truly an international event, FOREVER TANGO was awarded the coveted Simpatia Prize at the 1996 Spoleto Festival in Italy. 

​

FOREVER TANGO features fourteen world-class tango dancers, one vocalist and an on-stage eleven piece orchestra, including the instrument of the tango, the Bandoneon, in an evening that celebrates the passionate music and dance of Argentina. The dances, performed to original and traditional music, are the result of collaboration between each couple and director/creator Bravo. "The tango is a feeling that you dance ",  says Bravo, " a story you tell in three minutes. It's passionate, it's melancholic. It's tender, violent. You dance with somebody - but it's so internal, you dance by yourself. More than just a dance, the tango is music, a drama, a culture, a way of life."  

​

FOREVER TANGO tells the story of the birth of tango in 19th century Argentina where thousands of men, having abandoned a disintegrating Europe to emigrate to South America, found themselves in a crowded abattoirs (packing houses), the bars and street corners of the arrabales (outlying barrios) and in the enramadas (brothels). The tango was born from this lonely and violent existence. Originally shunned by the Argentina society as indecent, the tango became an overnight craze in upper-class Paris when Argentine intellectuals taught it when traveling abroad. The Tango quickly spread across Europe  and to America, and was eventually re-imported  home to Argentina society, though not unchanged. Born in the brothels and bordellos of Buenos Aires, the tango may be Argentina's best known export.

 

Creator/director of FOREVER TANGO, Luis Bravo is a world-class cellist who has performed with major symphonies throughout the world. His distinguished credits include appearances with the Los Angeles Philharmonic, the Colon Theatre Opera House, the Buenos Aires Philharmonic and other prestigious ensembles around the world. 

​

FOREVER TANGO'S design team includes Argemira Affonso (costumes), Luis Bravo (lighting), Mike Miller (sound), and Jean-Luc Don Vito (make-up).  Victor Lavallen serves as musical director/arranger and composed some of the music in the show. 

​

FOREVER TANGO opened on Broadway June of 1997 for what was expected to be an eight-week engagement, run for 14 months and has since been back to New York on Broadway on three separate occasions, the latest being the summer of 2013 at the Walter Kerr Theatre. The following are excerpts from reviews of FOREVER TANGO around the world! These sizzling reviews and huge demand for tickets forced the run to be extended again and again:
