Teater O | tango

an adventurous tale of daring to be oneself

A man is trying to make the pieces of his family history fall into place. Who was his great-grandfather? Why did the family never talk about him? And what really happened to him when he disappeared to Argentina?

In his grandmother’s loft, he finds an old suitcase which brings him closer to the deepest secret of his family. And he discovers why no one ever dances in his family.

In a performance full of music, an Argentinian tango guitarist and a Danish actor tell a story about choosing yourself and following your passion. And about a great-grandfather from whom you could probably learn something. If you dare!

“All in the audience sat captivated and swallowed every word and every dance move – and several of us got busy with the handkerchiefs afterwards. TANGO is truly a surprisingly beautiful soul journey. Intertwined in the finest dramaturgy”

teateravisen

“A simultaneity of fragility and strength rays out of Lars Dammark when he, as an actor, superbly tells and plays both great-grandson and great-grandfather”

Århus stiftstidende

The brand of teater o is primarily the good, funny and touching stories. And above all, it is about the fluid natural dialogue, word-ofmouth, that moves children and adults of all ages.
