Creative Works:
We are the creators, choreographers, and stars of our original full-length production "Tierra y Fuego que Camina" (Earth & Fire Walking), directed by Ron Celona. This dance-theater work blends Argentine tango, contemporary movement, physical theater, and visual storytelling - inspired by the poetry of Atahualpa Yupanqui. The production explores earth and fire as both the landscape of the world and the landscape of the human heart, where tango's essence lives. It traces two wanderers celebrating life through movement and melody - pilgrims searching for dreams on a road that never ends, bridging the pulse of city life with the purity of nature.
Beyond the stage, we've created diverse choreographies for professional dance companies, educational institutions, and cultural organizations throughout Argentina and the United States.
Published Work:
Tomás is co-author of "Arte para la Vida" (Art for Life), published in Argentina by the Vocational School of Artistic Expression of Catamarca - a book exploring dance pedagogy and artistic development.
Teaching & Masterclasses:
As master teachers, we've conducted workshops and residencies at universities, dance festivals, and cultural centers worldwide, sharing our deep knowledge of Argentine tango technique, musicality, improvisation, and performance artistry.
Wherever we perform - whether at intimate theaters or grand concert halls - our work receives exceptional reviews for its technical precision, emotional authenticity, and innovative vision.
