CARMEN.maquia reimagines Bizet's legendary opera through bold and contemporary movement exploring themes of identity, power, and rebellion. Directed by Eduardo Vilaro and choreographed by Gustavo Ramírez Sansano, this production unveils Carmen as a complex, defiant figure-untamed and deeply human. Set on a minimalist stage inspired by Picasso's love of Carmen, the dancers merge ballet, flamenco, and paso doble into fluid, striking forms. Costumes by Spanish designer David Delfin embrace understated whites, recalling flamenco's origins while rejecting tradition. This is Carmen as you've never seen her before-timeless, bold, and fiercely relevant.
