“TANGOMACHINE” is the first of its kind tango-dance performance in Bulgaria, which is
created, choreographed and performed by LAOKOONTANGO (Ivaylo Alexandroff and
Gabriela Pancheva) and is built up entirely on the aesthetics of Tango and the digital
environment. The performance investigates the delicate connection between the classical
elegance of Tango de Salon and the creative impressiveness of Tango Nuevo and
experiments radically with the endless possibilities of Tango as a dance and the absolute
limitlessness of visual form, being deeply inspired by the words of the great tango composer

Osvaldo Pugliese: “Nosotros somos un poroto de la máquina tanguera. Un tornillo de esta
máquina, nada más.” - “We are a bean from the tango machine. A screw from this machine,
nothing more.” [Teatro Colón, Buenos Aires, 26/12/1985]

11. Gran Final: TANGOMACHINE by LAOKOONTANGO

The word “conspiracy” comes from the latin “conspirare”, which literary means “breathe
together” or “to act in harmony” - conspiro, conspirare, conspiravi, conspiratus: sound/act
in unison/harmony/accord/blow together, Oxford Latin Dictionary, 1982 (OLD) ; “to act in
harmony toward a common end”, “to act together”, “Conspire.”: The Merriam-
Webster.com Dictionary, Merriam-Webster Inc.

Into the modern world the content “conspiracy” has burdened with a negative conotation!
With conviction we accept the original antique meaning, uncompromisingly consecrated to
the TANGOMACHINE conspiracy!
