Espectaculo...
Translated that is spectacle and the word for a theater performance. How apropos for the spectacle last night...La Tanguera... the musical-dance story of Argentine immigrants at the warfs and in the barrios of Buenos Aires. They told of their hopes arriving in a new land from countries throughout Europe. The sensuality was at a peak when they told of their struggle through the tango. I am thinking.... Are their legs truly attached to their bodies? Is there anything that I have seen so beautiful and captivating? Could I ever move my body with such agility? One of the most famed dancers, in her 70s has legs to die for and led the group at the encore with the words... "Let's go boys... kids!" I thought, "yes, that is exactly the model I hold for aging and my vision for my 70s!"
