Crimes and Whispers: A Tango of Despair and Defiance

While taking tango lessons from an Argentine national, local choreographer Gerry Girouard became interested in the famous Grandmothers of the Plaza de Mayo—a group whose mission since 1977 has been to track down missing Argentine children, many of whom were born to political prisoners. By teaming his own dancers with Off-Leash Area Productions, a theater troupe adept in physical performance styles, Girouard’s piece evokes the ominous Junta environment that the Grandmothers braved to rescue dozens of children. Expect an imposing and virile spectacle involving wall dancing and impressive upper-body strength. 1940 Hennepin Ave., Minneapolis; 612-724-7372
