Ballet Hispanico: Carmen.Maquila

Free

Ballet Hispánico return to Curve for Let’s Dance International Frontiers 2025 with their electrifying reimagining of CARMEN, a contemporary take on Bizet’s beloved classic. The physically charged and sensual choreography fuses contemporary dance with nods to the Spanish paso doble, flamenco and movement of the Latin American Diaspora.

The full-length work is choreographed by Gustavo Ramírez Sansano, whose work, 18+1, featured as part of Ballet Hispánico’s repertoire at LET’S DANCE INTERNATIONAL FRONTIERS 2022.

“This Carmen has a spare, elegant, Modernist look.” – Brian Seibert, The New York Times

“Ramírez’s movement is refreshingly unique…. Ballet Hispánico’s ensemble plays many parts and manoeuvres through humorous and nuanced moments with ease and clarity.” – Broadway World

“An experience unlike any other in the Latin dance space we’ve seen in quite some time…. CARMEN.maquia continues to haunt us in the most beautiful way.” – Latina Magazine

Age guidance: 13+
Show warnings: Themes of murder and death
