Love From Carmen at Chickenshed Theatre

Don Jose’s heart beats for Carmen, while Micaela pines for Don Jose’s affection. And then there’s Escamillo, wrapped up in his love for… himself!

Picture this: a not-so-distant future where Carmen, a rebel at her core and a refugee by circumstance, takes centre stage every evening in the Refugee Camp Circus. Controlled by Don Jose, an occupying army guard, Carmen and her circus comrades serve as the perfect diversion, keeping rebellion at bay. But can she break free from Don Jose’s grasp and lead her fellow camp dwellers to freedom?

Bizet’s timeless Carmen gets a modern remix, swapping opera for rap and breathing fresh life into its iconic melodies. Chickenshed proudly unveils this reimagined classic; inviting a wider audience to experience Carmen’s voice - a voice that speaks to us all.

Get ready for a riveting journey that belongs to everyone, everywhere.
