INVISIBLE TANGO
(2019)
In Invisible Tango, Helder Guimarães shares his personal perspective on how we can experience mystery in today's world. In the midst of the information age and our culture of over-sharing, Guimarães challenges our interaction with the unknown and explores how we can embrace chaos, fear, and wonder.
Directed by legendary film producer and director Frank Marshall (Jurassic World, Indiana Jones, Goonies, Back to the Future) with original music by Moby, Invisible Tango explores the nature of secrets and how far we are willing to go to discover them.
“His card tricks, performed at a table facing out to the audience, reliably astonish. Theatergoers who are asked to remember their chosen cards have the opportunity to shuffle the deck to their utmost satisfaction. What Guimarães does with these cards only a magician of his caliber can explain. The lay crowd must surrender to amazement.”

“From my ring-side, front row seat, you would think I could see his sleight-of-hand artistry up close enough to figure out what was going on. But, no, I could not and his belief that we will never know everything - and that mystery is a beautiful thing - sets the perfect tone for a night of wonder while in the presence of his electrifying prestidigitation.”

“Invisible Tango has all the subtlety and beauty of a novella by that Argentinian word-magician, Jorge Luis Borges. As with Borges’s best stories — and unlike almost every other magic show I have seen — this theater event will stay with me for a very long time. My congratulations to Guimarães and to those who have collaborated with him to create this lovely and entertaining meditation on the enigma of human existence.”
