Charleston Gaillard Center Presents Ballet Hispánico Carmen.maquia
Event Details
Embark on a journey through time and emotion as Ballet Hispánico commemorates 150 years of Carmen in a spellbinding dance performance. Choreographer Gustavo Ramírez Sansano’s quintessential work breathes new life into Bizet’s timeless tale, infusing it with raw passion and visceral energy. Join us as the narrative of Carmen leaps off the stage and into your soul, amplified through Ballet Hispánico’s mesmerizing movement and evocative choreography.
Gustavo Ramírez Sansano’s CARMEN.maquia is an electrifying reimagining of Bizet’s classic. This audacious production features costumes by visionary fashion designer David Delfin and evocative set design by Luis Crespo. Ramírez Sansano explains the title’s significance: “I saw many Carmens and didn’t want to call it just Carmen. The art of bullfighting is ‘tauromaquia,’ and Picasso said Carmen was like the untamable bull. So, we took ‘tauromaquia, ‘removed ‘tauro,’ and added ‘Carmen.'”
