In the middle, somewhat elevated/Por Vos Muero/Carmen - T0341453441In a high contrast programme from an American in Paris, a Swede in Seville and a Spaniard at home, classicism meets ceaseless athleticism in [William Forsythe]'s In the middle, somewhat elevated, the opening ballet. This is followed by [Nacho Duato]'s Por Vos Muero with [Mats Ek]'s Carmen presented by The Royal Ballet for the first time completing the programme. [Mats Ek] is famous for his vividly theatrical alternatives of classics. Created a decade ago for the Cullberg Ballet, Ek's ballet puts gender on the agenda by abandoning stereotypical interpretations of the story that [Bizet] once made his own. A predatory Carmen leads the potent sexual games, while the pathos of the piece is left to rest with Don Jose.Company Royal Ballet. Choreographer William Forsythe (In the middle...).
