With their career as interpreters in international professional companies such as the ballet of the National Opera of the Rhine or the Royal Ballet of Flanders, Ximena ZALAZAR FIRPO and Willem MEUL founded the Estro Company. By taking advantage of contemporary dance, classical dance and in their latest creations the Argentine tango and its contemporary evolution, they develop their own choreographic language. For them, the listening in the movement, the breathing, the emotion, the mixture of the forms between traditions and new writings are fundamental.

Their investigations focus on the spirals of the body, the plural embraces, the dynamics in the towers, the self-control and the cowardly grip, basic principles of contemporary dance and Argentine tango. Another peculiarity of the company is the construction of artistic works in-situ in unconventional places like the Terrace of the Castle of Querceto and the adaptation in fact to constraints specific to the places.

Argentinian composers Sebastian Volco and Pablo Gignoli started working together in late 2000s in Buenos Aires. In 2012, they moved to France where they formed the duo Volco & Gignoli. The duo, which performs their own compositions and arrangements of famous rock, jazz and tango songs, brings together two different worlds : rock and jazz fusion on one hand (Sebastian Volco is the director of the psychedelic rock/world/free jazz band Orquesta Metafísica) and contemporary tango on the other (Pablo Gignoli is the director of the neo tango orquestra TAXXI Tango XXI and a former participant of Orquesta Típica Fernandez Fierro). The duo has given hundreds of concerts in France, Germany, Luxembourg, Switzerland, Italy, Portugal and United States on a variety of stages including Centre Georges Pompidou, Maison Radio France, Tarbes Tango Festival, Albi Tango Festival, Tango Roots Festival, Berlin Tangoloft, Cafe Ada (Wuppertal), Haus de Sinne (Berlin), Berlin Contemporary Tango Festival, Tango Millieu (Hannover) and many others. Since 2018, Volco & Gignoli have been wokring with the founders of Gotan Project Muller and Makaroff as participants of the new modern tango group Plaza Francia Orquesta. On several occasions they have shared the stage with famous French singers : Catherine Ranger (Volco & Gignoli) and Benjamin Biolay (Pablo Gignoli).

I compositori argentini Sebastian Volco e Pablo Gignoli hanno iniziato a lavorare insieme alla fine degli anni 2000 a Buenos Aires. Nel 2012 si sono trasferiti in Francia dove hanno formato il duo Volco & Gignoli. Il duo, che esegue composizioni proprie e arrangiamenti di brani famosi di rock, jazz e tango, unisce due mondi diversi: il rock e il jazz fusion da un lato (Sebastian Volco è il direttore della band di rock psichedelico/world/free jazz Orquesta Metafísica) e il tango contemporaneo dall’altro (Pablo Gignoli è il direttore dell’orquestra di neo tango TAXXI Tango XXI e un ex partecipante dell’Orquesta Típica Fernandez Fierro). Il duo ha tenuto centinaia di concerti in Francia, Germania, Lussemburgo, Svizzera, Italia, Portogallo e Stati Uniti su diversi palcoscenici, tra cui il Centre Georges Pompidou, la Maison Radio France, il Tarbes Tango Festival, l’Albi Tango Festival, il Tango Roots Festival, il Tangoloft di Berlino, il Cafe Ada (Wuppertal), la Haus de Sinne (Berlino), il Berlin Contemporary Tango Festival, il Tango Millieu (Hannover) e molti altri. Dal 2018, Volco & Gignoli collaborano con i fondatori del Gotan Project Muller e Makaroff come partecipanti al nuovo gruppo di tango moderno Plaza Francia Orquesta. In diverse occasioni hanno condiviso il palco con famosi cantanti francesi: Catherine Ranger (Volco & Gignoli) e Benjamin Biolay (Pablo Gignoli).

Die argentinischen Komponisten Sebastian Volco und Pablo Gignoli begannen Ende der 2000er Jahre in Buenos Aires zusammenzuarbeiten. Im Jahr 2012 zogen sie nach Frankreich, wo sie das Duo Volco & Gignoli gründeten. Das Duo, das eigene Kompositionen und Bearbeitungen berühmter Rock-, Jazz- und Tangosongs aufführt, bringt zwei unterschiedliche Welten zusammen: Rock- und Jazzfusion auf der einen Seite (Sebastian Volco ist Leiter der Psychedelic Rock/World/Free Jazz Band Orquesta Metafísica) und zeitgenössischen Tango auf der anderen Seite (Pablo Gignoli ist Leiter des Neo Tango Orquestra TAXXI Tango XXI und ehemaliger Teilnehmer des Orquesta Típica Fernandez Fierro). Das Duo hat Hunderte von Konzerten in Frankreich, Deutschland, Luxemburg, der Schweiz, Italien, Portugal und den Vereinigten Staaten auf verschiedenen Bühnen gegeben, darunter Centre Georges Pompidou, Maison Radio France, Tarbes Tango Festival, Albi Tango Festival, Tango Roots Festival, Berlin Tangoloft, Cafe Ada (Wuppertal), Haus de Sinne (Berlin), Berlin Contemporary Tango Festival, Tango Millieu (Hannover) und viele andere. Seit 2018 arbeiten Volco & Gignoli mit den Gründern des Gotan-Projekts Muller und Makaroff als Teilnehmer der neuen modernen Tango-Gruppe Plaza Francia Orquesta zusammen. Bei mehreren Gelegenheiten haben sie die Bühne mit berühmten französischen Sängern geteilt: Catherine Ranger (Volco & Gignoli) und Benjamin Biolay (Pablo Gignoli).

Forts de leur parcours d’interprètes au sein de compagnies professionnelles d’envergure internationales comme le ballet de l’Opéra National du Rhin ou le Ballet Royal de Flandre, Ximena ZALAZAR FIRPO et Willem MEUL fondent la Compagnie Estro. En mettant à profit la danse contemporaine, la danse classique et dans leurs dernières créations le tango argentin et son évolution contemporaine, ils développent leur propre langage chorégraphique. Pour eux, l’écoute dans le mouvement, la respiration, l’émotion, le mélange des formes entre traditions et nouvelles écritures sont fondamentaux.

Leurs investigations se focalisent sur les spirales du corps, les enlacements pluriels, les dynamiques dans les tours, la maîtrise de soi et le lâché prise, principes essentiels de base à la danse contemporaine et au tango argentin. Une autre particularité de la compagnie est la construction d’œuvres artistiques in-situ dans des lieux non-conventionnels come la Terrasse du Chateau de Querceto et l’adaptation de fait à des contraintes spécifiques aux lieux.
