Show Description

Two people, no longer in the first flush of youth, find each other at a tango retreat in Buenos Aires. A spark is lit and their passion smoulders – this was meant to be. But one has work and family ties in South America, the other in rural Devon. They settle into the frustrations of a long distance relationship fuelled by regular tango sessions in Argentina, that include unexpected flights of the imagination. Then one of them weighs the ecological consequences. A multi story mix of music, song, tango and stories, ancient and modern. “Like a warm hug on a stormy night” “ Sensitive, funny, moving, poignantly relevant and vitally relatable.” “ I just loved it! It felt like you expressed lots of different threads about what it is to be alive and human at this time of my life, in this age. It’s very special.”

There is no fixed seating so wheelchair users are easily accommodated.
Self contained
We play in the round . Either a 5m diameter playing area or, if the hall is narrow, squished into an oval shape. This is to mirror the shape of a tango milonga ( social dance). We use three circles of seats ( the third row of seats we bring ourselves : they are folding bar stools which give the height necessary to give a raked seating effect).
Yes. Up to 50 posters,(A3/A4 mix)up to 500 flyers overprinted to your spec. We have a youtube trailer. And we provide a marketing/press pack.
multi story was created in 2000 by Bill Buffery and Gill Nathanson inspired by their visits to Canadian Fringes and building on years of touring experience in the UK. As the name implies, we are centrally concerned with the enduring power of story - and with communicating the richness of the old stories to new audiences, both young and old
