One of the most prominent Brazilian names in international dance, Thiago Soares returns to Rio with a new reading of “Carmen”, a classic inspired by the work of Georges Bizet. The show will be presented from September 16th to 19th, at the Multiplan Theatre, at VillageMall, at Barra da Tijuca.
One of the most prominent Brazilian names in international dance, Thiago Soares returns to Rio with a new reading of “Carmen”, a classic inspired by the work of Georges Bizet. The show will be presented from September 16th to 19th, at the Multiplan Theatre, at VillageMall, at Barra da Tijuca.
Created for the Thiago Soares Dance Company, the assembly combines the classic ballet technique with contemporary dance, urban languages and theatricality elements. The proposal brings together the history of the Latin American universe and presents a new perspective on the protagonist, traditionally associated with sensuality, desire and freedom.
In the version of Thiago Soares, Carmen is portrayed as a woman conscious of her choices and who rejects relationships based on the idea of possession. The central conflict of the narrative lies in the relationship between Carmen and José, which begins marked by desire and passion, but begins to be crossed by jealousy, control and attempt to limit the character's freedom.
Bizet's music remains one of the central elements of assembly, but the proposal is not to reproduce a traditional representation of Spain. History gains Latin American and Brazilian references, while classical dance meets contemporary and urban movements.
The performances of September 17th and 19th, at 8pm, will have the special participation of dancer Sasha De Sola, first dancer of the San Francisco Ballet. The sessions mark the artist's debut in Brazil.
