Bizet’s “Carmen” inspires to young choreographer Mié Coquempot a playful variation on passion dramas. Women in red dresses substitute to one another, dancing the multiples aspects of love.
Bizet’s Carmen inspires the young choreographer Mié Coquempot for a playful variation on the dramas of passion. Women in red dresses replace one another in turn, dancing the multiple facets of love. This urban walkabout is accompanied by Latin music and the gazes of the passers-by.
The city could be Aix-en-Provence, where the choreographer has worked, but also and why not Buenos Aires or Havana. To begin with, La Habanera focuses on describing the atmospheres of Southern cities, spaces that the dancers’ trajectories occupy. A large avenue, a hotel lobby, the market and the busy boutiques of a shopping street form the setting of this choreography. The editing includes in the movement the spectators’ reaction, surprised. A manner of filming that anchors in the present moment the composition and improvisation work that animates dance.
