A new cycle called 'Crepusculares' begins in Buenos Aires, exploring the relationship between dance and the city's notable domes.
On Saturday, February 21, at 7:30 PM, a new series titled 'Crepusculares' will kick off at the Palacio Libertad, focusing on the thematic relationship between dance and architecture. This series promises a year-long exploration of how performance art interacts with the stunning architectural features of Buenos Aires, particularly its renowned domes. The venue itself, an old post office building topped with a gorgeous dome, offers a panoramic view of the surrounding city, setting the stage for a unique artistic experience.
Buenos Aires is noted for having the highest number of domes in the world, with reports suggesting there are around four hundred varying in size and design.

The presence of these domes adds a rich visual narrative to the cityscape, enhancing the cultural and aesthetic experience of anyone exploring Buenos Aires.
The 'Crepusculares' series not only celebrates the artistic expression of dance but also emphasizes the importance of architecture in the city's identity. Guided tours and other engaging activities related to these architectural features are expected to complement the dance performances, attracting both locals and tourists. This initiative underscores the interconnectedness of cultural disciplines and the cityβs architectural heritage, inviting audiences to appreciate Buenos Aires from both an artistic and a structural perspective.
