Marcos Ayala

Director, Choreographer and Dancer

 

He is one of the great male names of national and international stage tango. His shows are a display of his own brand.

 

He knows how to blend the traditional language of tango with current artistic trends.

 

Many recognitions and awards such as "World Champion of Tango" (Japan 2006) and "Authentic Revelation of Tango" for his leading role in the Musical "Chantecler Tango" (Argentina 2012-2014 and France 2013) propped up his career as a dancer. As a choreographer he stood out in USA obtaining 2 "Latin Ace Awards" (New York 2015).

 

Since 2012 he has been touring internationally with his own tango company, taking his creations to the most important stages around the world.

 

From 2016, and after exhausting all the forms of stage tango h e began to venture into the language of the "musical", using tango as a base and adding different dancing techniques to create expressive choreographies. In this way new productions are shaped by telling stories through dance. That same year she premiered "Tango Buenos Aires" with which she made extensive international tours. Deepening his search into choreographic language, e n 2018 he created "Tango in the Shadows". A dramatic work of exquisite production and interpretation with his dance company.

 

In 2019 he premieres "Astor Tango", a new musical based on a very current social problematic with music by Piazzolla.

 

Without any doubt Marcos Ayala, as described by the magazine Caras Argentina, has become "The World Tango Referent" (June 2020), for his constant commitment to Argentinian Tango and to dance in general, being one of the few argentinians choreographers that has had and still has such a great repercussion worldwide, both for his creations and his contributions to scenic language and for his energetic and expressive style of dancing and interpreting tango.

 

The Company created in 2012 was born out of the need to keep Tango alive, with an eye put towards its evolution and the fusion with other artistic expressions, but also with a very personal vision.

 

A change of paradigm regarding current tango companies, with a different profile, that gives shape to his choreographic visions about Tango as a universal expression.

 

Taking special care in the aesthetics of their company, the members are carefully selected. Each of them must demonstrate a n impeccable performance and management of the "stage tango" technique, and knowledge of other interpretive techniques. Stylized physicists and trained to achieve plastic ductility in their interpretations and skill in their movements; selected as a single note of a musical piece thus high-lighting the virtuosity in each of them.

 

Original costumes designed especially for each work with unique and innovative details and accessories, are part of the magical atmosphere that is generated in its scenic settings accompanied by careful and suggestive lighting, causing a unique and personal stamp

of your company. 

 

His shows tour around the world every year, winning international awards, heartfelt applauses from the audience.
