Tango Pasión review
"For sheer heat, Viviana Laguzzi and Juan Corvalán — she of elegance on the hoof, he of aristocratic good looks — tore up the floor in 'La Cumparsita' replete with a power struggle that saw Corvalán wipe the stage with his partner, ending in a spectacular frieze of yearning."
Financial Times · United Kingdom · October 2003
Tango Pasión at the Peacock Theatre, London
"I have fallen especially under the spell of Viviana Laguzzi, and her ability to slice the air and the dance with a skill that matches her perfect legs. As variously loathsome events clog our world, here's an escape-tunnel dug for us by these vastly welcome visitors."
— Clement Crisp
