BARISHNIKOV IN BUENOS AIRES (By Hostel Buenos Aires)

Next October 23 and 24, one of the most renowned artists in the history of dance, Mijail Barishnikov, returns to Buenos Aires City. In this occasion he’ll be partnered by another dance legend, Ana Laguna. A program you can’t miss, including the duet “Place” by Mats Ek, and the eclectic solo, “Solo for Two”, by the same choreographer which is masterly interpreted by the Russian talent.
The program completes with two solo pieces that Mijail Barishnikov itself chose: “Years Later”, by Benjamin Millepieds, a young and active French choreographer, and “Valse-Fantasie”, by the Ukrainian Alexei Ratmanski. Spanish Ana Laguna is 55 years old, Mijail Barishnikov, 62. Mixing talent and experience, they continue to spread their magic and to expand the boundaries of beauty on a stage.

The last visit of Barishnikov to Buenos Aires was in 1998, when he brought an outstanding program to the Colon Theater composed exclusively by solos. Six years before that, he had brought his own company, the White Oak Project, which definitely turned him to contemporary dance. He surprised back then the traditional audience which knew him by his skills and perfection in the interpretation of the classic repertoire.
The performances of “Tres solos y un duo” (Three solos and a duet) Hill be on October 23 and 24 in the Coliseo Theater (Para una versión en español, haga click aquí.1125 Marcelo T. de Alvear Street) in the City of Buenos Aires, less than 10 blocks away from our Hostel Colonial. For those who love dance and the other who want to enjoy one of the best dancers in history in our city, the tickets are already selling.
