Ballet Hispánico New York
"This Carmen has a spare, elegant, Modernist look."
—Brian Seibert, The New York Times
CARMEN.maquia
Bizet’s Carmen has haunted the artistic imagination for 150 years—romanticized, exoticized, and endlessly reinterpreted. Now, in celebration of that anniversary, Ballet Hispánico New York—the nation’s leading Latino dance company and recognized as one of America’s Cultural Treasures—reclaims her. Stirring, witty, and spectacular, CARMEN.maquia is the work of Valencian choreographer Gustavo Ramírez Sansano, whose Picasso-inspired vision strips away myth to reveal a fuller, more complex woman—intelligent and defiant. Inspired by tauromaquia—the art of bullfighting—CARMEN.maquia breathes contemporary life into this legendary character, fusing it with the grounded sensuality of the paso doble and flamenco. The result is a Carmen who belongs not to the gaze of others, but entirely to herself.
