CARMEN.maquia

Choreographer Gustavo Ramirez Sansano reimagines Bizet's beloved opera "Carmen" with a striking contemporary vision. Rather than following the traditional story, CARMEN.maquia strips away classical conventions to reveal something raw and immediate—a work that captures the rebellious energy Carmen has embodied for nearly 200 years. Sansano's choreography is visceral and visually arresting, blending passion and danger into a performance that feels urgent and alive. This innovative dance-theater experience brings fresh perspective to a timeless tale, making it an intriguing choice for families interested in exposing children to bold artistic interpretations. The performance takes place at the Davidson Theatre in the Riffe Center, offering a chance to experience contemporary dance in an intimate venue. If your family enjoys exploring creative takes on classical stories or appreciates dynamic movement and visual storytelling, this production promises an engaging evening.
