In almost the 90 minutes of duration, it is staged with fragments of popular pieces like "El Choclo", "Milonga de mis amores" and "El Cumparsita", and more original music.Behind Tanguera it is the hand of experts of the entertainment in Argentina. Tanguera appeared for the first time in 2004, "but now they will see it with a renewed concept", expressed the Argentine producer Diego Romay. In interview, Romay explained that Tanguera is "an audacious and provocative, triunfador musical comedy in Europe, Asia and several countries of America. It gained the prize Bugler 2002, five ACE and one important one in Shangai. It reunites to 30 artists in scene, eight pairs of tango, overwhelming clothes of 140 period customes, an unfolding of lights and an aesthetic one that captivate by their poetry and sensuality ". The musical adjustments are of the directors Gerardo Gardelín and the bandoneonist Lisandro Adrober; the songs were written specially for the spectacle by Eladia Blázquez. The direction is in charge of Omar Pacheco, the choreography is of Mora Godoy's, a coreografía of marginal Buenos Aires atmosphere. Diego Romay: "The theater production puts immigrants and Creoles, ruffians and compadres, prostitutas and milongueros, that are catched in a hope game, disillusion and contradicting passions that only the tango knows to reveal throughout its history / Sin ser un apunte cronológico del género, la producción teatral pone a inmigrantes y criollos, rufianes y compadres, prostitutas y milongueros, quienes se encuentran atrapados en un juego de esperanza, desencanto y contradictorias pasiones que sólo el tango sabe revelar a lo largo de su historia". Other spectacles, like "Forever tango", have received critics to be too streamlined. Tanguera is not looked like Forever tango, for example. It has more than 12 companies of tango that have a similar structure: choreographic pictures, sung subjects and an orchestra, dance a pair, a person sings a tango, a choir and an orchestra. "Tanguera is not a spectacle that is to the service of the dance. We do not come to look for virtuosity in the dance, but that the dance is to the service of a history. That is the great difference: Tanguera narrates a history, has a dramatic structure, tells a story: the history of thousands of immigrants, the life of a francesita that arrives at the beginning of 1900 at Argentina / Tanguera narra una historia, tiene una estructura dramatúrgica, cuenta un cuento: la historia de miles de inmigrantes, la vida de una francesita que llega a principios del siglo XX a Argentina, como tantos otros que llegaron a mí país a echar raíces para crecer ". The birth of the tango danced between men; the duels of district, the el cabaret night club, the brothel and the fight, are some of the many scenes. Everything is a argumental design with musicalidad that is journeying by the great subjects and composers of the tango, as Piazzola; in such a way that everything is armed so that there is a great materialized musical score in the movement of the dancers. People will see a spectacle, a history drama and a musical comedy. Along the spectacle, the public will understand life of tango during century XX, since it was a prohibited dance that was only seen in night clubs, later was made more well-known when the young people of high the social class put to the brothels to practice it with the women. Soon it was taken to Paris, where it received success and then it had a very great rage in Argentina and was accepted by all the social classes. Coexistence of styles... in Tanguera they coexist, musically, very different stylistic concepts, it breaks with the paradigm, with the traditional model of shows. There is sensuality, because the tango is erotic, passional, provocative. Here one is not going to find cachondismo for the cochondismo, if there is eroticism it is because the personages need it, by its conflict / Hay sensualidad, pues el tango es erótico, pasional, provocativo. Aquí no se va a hallar el cachondismo por el cachondismo, sino que si hay erotismo es porque los personajes lo requieren, por su conflicto.
