About the video version of the musical Sebastian Tango

“Sebastián Tango” is a musical inspired by the life of the martyr San Sebastian. The setting is a queer milonga, at times it becomes a Baroque church where the sexes are confused to the sound of tango. Sebastián falls in love with the prostitute René. However Sebastian´s ex lover, filled with rage, asks cafisho Máximo to help him separate them. Sebastián Tango shows what can happen when human passions are taken to extremes. The musical presents a fan of possibilities for tango couples: man-man, woman-woman, where the traditional man-woman couple is only an alternative.
