About
Bizet’s famous work is revisited by eight dancers and a vocalist with elements of whimsy, tenderness and mockery, playing with masculine and feminine stereotypes. This modern CAR/MEN is lifted to new heights by the fluid movements of the dancers’ bodies and the top-flight operatic voice of the singer, all swept up in a whirlwind of colours.
A crisp and original choreography punctuated with subtly-dosed humour: a true Carmen 2.0!
