Back by popular demand, award-winning Moveo
Dance Company presents Carmen, a striking contemporary dance performance
choreographed by Artistic Director, Dorian Mallia. Inspired by the fiery
character, the piece is a modern take on the timeless opera, with iconic scenes
reinterpreted through contemporary dance, dynamically peppered with flamenco
influences.
The ever head-strong and self-sufficient Carmen
is led by her persistent desire to be free to love whoever she wants. On the
other hand, the innocent and chaste Micaela brings about a natural foil of
contrast to the passionate and seductive lead. The reimagined dance piece
explores new dimensions of other protagonists from the original story including
the conflicted Don Jose and bullfighter, Escamillo. Love, desire and duty
ravage the characters to create a compelling performance bursting with emotion.
This spectacle is a full display of dance
excellence that Moveo has become so synonymous with, expertly paired with music
composed for the performance that incorporates the essence of Bizet’s music
with contemporary flair.
Carmen will be staged on Friday 1st and Sunday
3rd July at 21:00
Limited seating at €15 on a first come first
served basis.
