Carmen is now playing at Theater Basel. Performances run through 11 June.
Seductive, independent, radical: Carmen has gone down in cultural history as a projection screen for male fantasies of exoticism. In her opera debut, Argentinian choreographer Constanza Macras liberates the famous title heroine from frills and castanets and presents her as a glamorous rebel. A circus-like dance revue spectacle full of pop references unfolds over the abysmal story of a jealous murder. The award-winning conductor Maxime Pascal conducts Bizet's opera, which became a global hit with its captivating melodies and driving rhythms.
The ensemble of singers is joined on stage by dancers from the Dorky Park company.
