MIAMI.- The Tower Theater Cultural Center begins 2024 with the premiere of the constructions Lost Tango, by the Argentine playwright Mario Diament. This will be the first time that this staging is presented in Spanish in the city of Miami.
Lost Tango narrates the meeting between Valeria Durand, a legendary diva of Latin American cinema, who retired from public life decades ago after a notorious scandal, and Diego Goldstein, an insistent journalist, who convinces the diva to grant him an exclusive interview, to investigate on the real reasons for his retirement.
Valeria, who lives secluded in a dark room in an old hotel in Miami, receives him there, wrapped in the mystery in which she has lived for years and surrounded by the memories of her former glory.
Diego’s questions are, at first, innocent and kind, but little by little they become more incisive. But Valeria is not willing to fall into the game. The press destroyed her once and she is not willing to let history repeat itself.
As the play progresses, the meeting of these two characters goes through different stages, becoming increasingly strange and dangerous. It is becoming a cruel game in which anything can happen. And Valeria and Diego’s intentions are not what they admit out loud.
Both have hidden motives that drive their actions and trigger unexpected and dangerous situations.
