They have been performers for 5 years in the worldwide tour of the acclaimed Tango show Tango x 2 which played on Broadway in New York and many of the major cities of the world, including Boston. They are well known as performers in Buenos Aires, where they have performed in the major theatres: Municipal Theatre, General San Martin, Avenida Theatre, Alvear Theatre, Astral Theatre and Miquelangelo, as well as during the Tango Congress CITA-2001 and at invited performances at all the major Milongas in Buenos Aires. Internationally, they have performed and taught at major Tango festivals around the world, including in Moscow, Hong Kong, Japan, USA, Mexico, Canada and several countries in Europe. Their latest project is the Tango show "Tango en Construccion," which has just debuted in Buenos Aires.
