Carmen(s)
José Montalvo’s productions are as many happy homages to diversity. Her fantasy is expressed again in Carmen (s), who takes the heroine of Merimee and makes her travel outside her native Spain. Gitane that José Montalvo calls “world heroine”, she embodies the absence of borders in the guise of no less than seven dancers on stage. The Habanera is sung in French and Spanish, but also in Korean and English; Beside the airs of Bizet, the dance also declines the mix of styles dear to José Montalvo, from classical to flamenco through hip hop. Born of Spanish parents exiled under Franco, the choreographer claims the values of miscegenation in the face of exclusion, withdrawal or walls that some intend to erect. A Carmen feminine plural, solar and jubilant.
