DE SCHEHERAZADE A YO, CARMEN
BY MARÍA PAGÉS COMPAÑÍA
Vanguard flamenco dancer and choreographer María Pagés premieres her feminine vision of Carmen. Hailed all over the world as one of the finest contemporary flamenco shows, it is a new take on the gypsy cigarette girl from Mérimée’s novella who was made famous by Bizet and the storyteller of the Arabian Nights. Pagés reinterprets these two central characters as women who are strong and proud of their identity.
Hailed all over the world as one of the finest contemporary flamenco shows, Vanguard flamenco dancer and choreographer María Pagés transcends two legendary female characters— Carmen, the gypsy cigarette girl from Mérimée’s novella made famous by the Bizet opera and the quick-witted storyteller of the Arabian Nights in this vibrant ode to femininity.
