The piece challenges the audience’s reference point of Bizet’s Opera by mixing humor, singing, clowning and dance.
Inheriting the now renowned comic and visual signature of Philippe Lafeuille’s creations, CAR/MEN blurs the lines between Opera and Ballet and plays on the ambivalence between masculinity and femininity, thus questioning the quintessence of Carmen’s character.
This modern CAR/MEN is enhanced by the fluidity of the bodies and the singer’s high-flying lyrical voice. Moving through a whirlwind of colours, the choreography is precise and original, punctuated by well-measured humour: a real Carmen 2.0
