Tango photography – fotografía del tango – tango fotografie
I like going to Sweden, so when I had the opportunity to shoot some pictures at the Tango 59° festival in Stockholm, I didn’t hesitate. I stayed with a friend near the city (thx, Michel!) and went to dance in the afternoon milongas at Stallet and the evening salons at Nalen. Most pictures here are taken during a 30-minute span at Nalen.
Friday night of the aRealidades festival: live music from Quinteto Sonor / Demo from Carolina Lafata & Cristian Duarte and Julieta Falivene & Pedro Farias:
More pictures from the fabulous aRealidades show. Tonight we have the last performance and then the workshops and milongas are starting.
Stockholm turns out to be a swell city. It’s green, clean, not too cold, the variety in expresso bars is impressive, but most of all the friendliness of the Swedes is striking. If you’re in need of anything, they help you out in excellent English and otherwise they’ll just start chatting.

DNI Dance Company and Michel Bajuk present the first European performances of aRealidades in Stockholm, Sweden.
aRealidades seeks to explore human instincts in social relations: love, violence, power, creation, acceptance. The choreography tells a story about the world we live in today, about the endless search for balance and hope.
Quinteto Sonor
The performance starts with Quinteto Sonor, a young tango ensemble from Sweden.
After that, the dance begins. Eight dancers from DNI take us along a trip in human relations and strong emotions.
