Ballet Hispanico New York: Carmen Maquia

Ballet Hispánico's take on Bizet's passionately crafted tragedy, CARMEN.maquia, offers a contemporary look at a beloved classic that is celebrating its 150th anniversary. Gustavo Ramírez Sansano's quintessential work revitalizes Bizet's timeless tale as bold and electrifying. Highly original and full of elaborate partnering, CARMEN.maquia is thrilling and audacious, hailed as a "masterpiece" by the Chicago Sun-Times. ?Picasso used to say that Carmen was like the bull that nobody could domesticate or control, no? So, we found that similarity where Carmen is like the bull, we just took ?tauromaquia,? and took ?tauro? out and put ?Carmen? in.? - choreographer Gustavo Ramírez Sansano.
