“A Fistful of Tango” is a comedic reimagining of the 1920 silent western film “The Toll Gate” directed by William Hart. Montopolis provides the live musical score, performing the traditional tango arrangements of Austin composer Glover Gill. Comedian Carlos LaRotta has rewritten the movie in the irreverent style typical of the Alamo Drafthouse production Master Pancake Theater. Dancers Monica Caivano and Gustavo Simplis perform during the screening.
The evening begins with a tango dance lesson followed by a “milonga”, the traditional Argentine social dance. The film screening and performance end the evening.
