SUMMARY:Ballet Hispánico
DESCRIPTION:Bizet’s Carmen has seen countless interpretations over the past 150 years\, but never one like this! Acclaimed choreographer Gustavo Ramírez Sansano brings this full-length ballet to the stage\, inspired by tauromaquia—the art of bullfighting—breathing a modern life into the legendary opera character through Ballet Hispánico’s electrifying CARMEN.maquia. Carmen has become a cultural icon\, inspiring generations of composers\, choreographers\, and writers to attempt to capture her elusive and alluring nature. One of today’s most sought-after choreographers\, Sansano’s quintessential ballet invigorates this timeless tale with an unrelenting energy that leaves you breathless. Highly original and full of explosive movement\, CARMEN.maquia is a bold reimagining of this classic story. \nJoin us for a post-show discussion following the performance. \n“Ramírez’s movement is refreshingly unique. … Ballet Hispanico’s ensemble plays many parts and maneuvers through humorous and nuanced moments with ease and clarity.” — Broadway World \nAbout the Company \nBallet Hispánico was founded on the principle that everyone deserves dance\, quality dance training\, and innovative performances. In creating the company in 1970\, Tina Ramirez shattered a glass ceiling—challenging iconic representations and exposing the joy and celebration to be found in Latinidad. Today\, as the largest Latino cultural organization in the United States\, Ballet Hispánico brings together communities to celebrate the ever growing and multifaceted Hispanic diasporas. Ballet Hispánico’s New York City headquarters provide the space and cultural heart for Latinx dance in the United States. The company engages audiences with the work of Latino and Latina choreographers\, opens a platform for new cultural dialogue\, and nurtures inspiring young dancers of all ages. Ballet Hispánico is committed nurturing artists\, teachers\, students\, arts leaders\, families\, and communities through the power of dance. The company has performed at Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts multiple times. We’re proud to welcome Ballet Hispánico back for our 50th anniversary season. \n“Ballet Hispanico dances with elegance and lyricism.” — The Washington Post \nCredits \nNew York Premiere: November 22\, 2014\, at The Apollo Theater \nChoreography by Gustavo Ramírez Sansano \nMusic from Various Works by Georges Bizet\, performed by the Slovak Philharmonic\, Praha Philharmonic\, New Zealand Symphony\, and National Symphony Orchestras\, and by the Arte Ensemble.
