Carmen by the Agudo Dance Company is a dramatic adaptation of Prosper Merimée’s classic novella of the same name written in 1845. Centred on its feisty and impassioned heroine, this production attempts to deliver a tale where human motives and emotions are on a collision course. A love story essentially, Carmen unravels the complex exchange between conformity and freedom. Set to an original Flamenco-infused by Bernhard Schimpelsberger and additional track by Kefaya, Carmen is a story ultimately about individuality, freedom, love, pleasure and the belief that this journey of twists and turns we call life is always valuable.
