In Tango Vitrola, Alejandro Cervera conjures a metaphysical space that highlights the struggle between men and women through simple, yet poetic patterns.

It is not easy for me to speak about my own work, but as I think about Tango Vitrola a few words come to mind: desire, sensuality, sexuality, rejection, and passion."
