But Montreal is not far behind! Theaters like Le Balcon located at the heart of Quartier des Spectacles, partnered with Tango Show, a company directed by the Argentinian Hernan Lazart (ex Broadway star and Piazzolla Tango choreographer and performer) and Marina Mauri to host a tango show similar to those in Buenos Aires.

With many of the same elements and performers coming directly from Buenos Aires, Tango Show emphasize the importance of traditional Argentine music and dance in order to recreate an environment that mimics the vibrant atmosphere of the original.

Tango performers engage in both vigorous choreography and passionate solo acts, often joined by live musicians who accompany them with traditional instruments like bandoneon, guitar, cello, and piano.
