BUENO, Mónica L.. The theatricality in tango. CELEHIS [online]. 2017, n.34, pp.1-10. ISSN 2313-9463.

When the tango comes out of the brothels and reaches the center of Buenos Aires, there are typical orchestras that regulate their performance so that the piece has two moments and the audience can dance and listen to the singer. Because the interpreter will tell a story and that is one of his seductions. Each tango, each milonga, refers to a story that supports a conception of the world with a code and a language. This event becomes ritual and finds in the repetition that collective fascination of what is made of everyone and what is alien in what is identified, has the form of a representation. The repetition implies the singularity of that event that brings it to the theater, which marks its theatricality, that is, in terms of Badiou, thought in action.  

Keywords : Tango - Story - Theatricality - Community.
