Vimeo - "Creating Carmen"
Video by Kendra Brisco.
![]() America's leading Latino dance company returns to the Apollo stage on November 22 to premiere its first evening-length narrative work. Hailed as a “masterpiece” by the Chicago Sun-Times, Gustavo Ramírez Sansano’s "CARMEN.maquia" is, like Georges Bizet’s iconic opera about a passionate gypsy, riveting from start to finish. The physically charged and sensual choreography fuses contemporary dance with nods to the Spanish paso doble and flamenco. A stunning set design by Luis Crespo and minimalist black-and-white costumes by fashion designer David Delfin evoke the paintings of Pablo Picasso. Highly original and full of elaborate partnering, "CARMEN.maquia" is a bold and electrifying reimagining of this tragic tale. For tickets, visit ballethispanico.org/performances/Apollo.
