This weekend, Yerba Buena Center for the Arts plays host to Tango Ceviche, an exploration of Argentine tango and Peruvian ceviche. The afternoon will combine instruction in both in order to, in the organizers' words, "discover the sublime truth that raw fish and a close embrace share a common settlement."
Co-presenter the Red Poppy Art House Annex has explored the intersection of food and dance before with previous installments of Tango Ceviche as well as the equally intriguing sounding Sushi Soukous. The next Tango Ceviche takes place this Saturday, September 6 from 1-4 p.m. at YBCA's Room for Big Ideas. Admission is $20 ($15 for YBCA members), and participants are encouraged to bring their own wine and beer, not to mention dancing shoes. Visit the YBCA's events page for more info. —Tamara Palmer
