After its overwhelming success at the Serenates Festival, the show arrives to Gandia at the nights of the Marquesa Garden (9:30pm)
n Latin, Carmen mean poetry, enchantment, magic formula... All qualities of the character of this opera. What if Carmen never died? And what if at the end of her life she could remember everything and tell her version of the story?
These questions are the starting point as well as the anchor we’ll use to create this performance. This woman, who is a typical free gipsy, derives from other famous women from medieval literature, such as “la Preciosa” of Cervantes o “la Esmeralda” of Víctor Hugo, both of which we have previously read. She would become the model of the so-called femme fatale. We’ll also get inspired by all those other Carmen who were judged by history due to their loving approach to their freedom and being owners of their own destiny.
A new moral code, somehow close to the existentialist ethics, is introduced with Carmen. In this show the life of Carmen will be relieved with an intergenerational cast that uses as a base the participants of the dance courses of the Universitat de València.
