‘Tango After Dark' Review: Germán Cornejo's Contemporary Take on a Classic Style
New York
'Tango After Dark,' the two-act showcase of dance and music at the Joyce Theater through Sunday, is a decidedly contemporary take on a style whose roots go back to 19th-century Argentina, where the social dance for couples in upright embraces began life in bars and brothels. The suite has been choreographed in collaboration with the show's dancers by Germán Cornejo and assistant choreographer Gisela Galeassi, who with Mr. Cornejo makes up its leading couple. Each has garnered titles as World Tango Champions.
