VOLVER tells the story of a group of emigrants who leave their native country and after traveling the world and learning about new cultures, they return years later. During that time, tango becomes their sign of identity which they proudly decide to show to the world. The show captures the evolution of the tango phenomenon, the influences it had and the mergers it made to become what it is today, world-renowned music, a world heritage icon.
This adventure, which goes beyond the experiences and feelings of any person who must emigrate, brings together the personal story of its director and creator, Alfredo Lerida, and the company Tango Lovers, paying homage to the different places they have traveled over the years, until becoming appointed Cultural Ambassadors by the Uruguayan government and receive the national pavilion at the 2019 Graffiti Awards.
Among other scenes, the show recounts the influence of the cultures they transited with special scenes on Chicago, their arrival to the Asian continent with the interpretation of the Watashi tango, the European passage with a novel contemporary performance of the 2 x 4, surrounded by a historical overview of tangos from all eras.
