CARMENCOUV

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
