Carmen

The narrative centres on an unrestrained Andalusian gypsy woman and Don José. Drawing from Georges Bizet and Rodion Shchedrin's compositions, this production — written and helmed by Ján Ďurovčík — merges libertine with conventional elements, Spanish with Slavonic influences, incorporating folklore aspects in the Escamillo character.

The piece alternates rapid-fire sequences with tender, quiet passages. This Slovak Dance Theatre adaptation has toured extensively across Tokyo, London, Toronto, Ottawa, Beijing, Rome, Madrid, Amsterdam, Mexico City, Québec, Helsinki and Graz.
