Carmen

& Opéra de Tunis. CARMENAbou LAgraa and L’Opéra de TunisWith Carmen, Abou Lagraa offers a contemporary choreographic reinterpretation of Georges Bizet's iconic work, performed by the dancers of the Ballet de l'Opéra de Tunis.

At the crossroads of dance and opera, this creation revisits the myth of Carmen, foregrounding the power of the body and dramatic intensity.

In a choreographic style that is both organic and incisive, Abou Lagraa explores the fundamental tensions of the work: desire, freedom, domination... breaking free from traditional narrative codes to favour a sensory and physical approach.

The stage becomes a space of confrontation where the performers embody, with great intensity, the impulses and contradictions of the characters.

A major figure in the contemporary choreographic scene, Abou Lagraa has for several years been developing demanding work, nourished by the dialogue between cultures and aesthetics.

His collaboration with the Opéra de Tunis is part of a dynamic of transmission and openness, bringing together performers from different backgrounds around an ambitious artistic project.

An accessible and powerful work, capable of reaching a wide audience while offering a renewed reading of a great classic of the repertoire. PMR booking: 0148285353
