Hypnotic Reinvention of Tango’s Raw Intensity

A cinematic solo that blurs the boundaries between dance, myth, and fate, Romance del Diablo marks 20 years of artistic collaboration between acclaimed Argentine choreographer Omar Saravia and Daniel Proietto.

Set to Astor Piazzolla’s haunting urban tango, this bold and visceral performance transforms the body into a mythological force—trapped, resisting, surrendering. Movement pulses on the edge of control, each gesture oscillating between rebellion and fate.

Filmed at cheLA, one of Buenos Aires’ most iconic multimedia spaces, the industrial architecture becomes part of the story—light, shadows, and space shaping the tension between freedom and confinement.

KNOW NATION Presents: Romance del Diablo

A Bold Encounter Between Tango, Myth, and Movement

Tango has always been more than just a dance—it’s an emotional battlefield, a dialogue of power and vulnerability, desire and despair.

In Romance del Diablo, Proietto and Saravia strip tango to its rawest essence, pushing movement beyond form into something deeply primal, cinematic, and mythological.

A solitary figure, caught between past and present, between the weight of history and the urgency of now.
