Tanguera

Giselle, a young French girl arriving in Argentina in the early 20th-century, is drawn into the wrong crowd by Gaudencio, a drug dealer and pimp. Lorenzo, a young dock worker falls in love with her, but alas, Giselle is forced into prostitution in Gaudencio's tango bar, where she soon becomes an accomplished tanguera (tango dancer).

This sensual musical (at the Théâtre du Châtelet) explores love, tragedy and of course tango in the steamy world of underground Buenos Aires
