A legenday collaboration between Antonio Gades and Carlos Saura , this production uses the intensity of Bizet's score and contrats it with the sensuality , passion, love, and rivality of the most authentic live flamenco performance.
The artists of the Antonio Gades Company live and breathe the ballet, revealing the many facets of a passionate and freedom-loving character with a fighting spirit.The masterful transition between the scenes is a nod to the cinema, the signature touch of the co-author and filmmaker. As in the rest of Gades' productions, the clarity in the development of the drama is unmistakable.The events happen without the audience knowing for sure if they are watching a flamenco dance company rehearse or a real tragedy. Twenty-eight years after its creation , Carmen by Gades and Saura, continues to impact spectators around the world. A revolutionary production in its time, today it is a classic of Spanish dance and workhorse of the current Antonio Gades Company.
