The tango ladies dance on

Two women sit in the dressing room of a cheap "tango bar" somewhere in Toronto, preparing for their performance. Emperatriz came from Argentina 10 years ago, and has had most of her dreams stifled, while Rubidia, an emigrant of less than 5 years, still has hopes of an acting career. Each dreams of a different life and a home where they may be secure, though each has a very different image of what a "home" may be. The homes they came from were dark and troubled so that they know they can never go back. The play covers one critical day in their life when they are forced to make decisions that will affect the rest of their lives.
