Royal Ballet - Cross Cultures - In the middle, somewhat elevated/Por Vos Muero/Carmen

Royal Ballet - Cross Cultures

Work:: Royal Ballet - Cross Cultures (S1260349494)


Production:: In the middle, somewhat elevated/Por Vos Muero/Carmen (T0341453441)

In 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.
