Carmen

With Carmen, Abou Lagraa offers a contemporary choreographic rereading of Georges Bizet's iconic work, performed by the dancers of the Ballet de l'Opéra de Tunis. At the crossroads of dance and opera, this creation revisits the myth of Carmen by placing the power of the body and dramatic intensity at the forefront.

In choreographic writing that is both organic and incisive, Abou Lagraa explores the fundamental tensions of the work: desire, freedom, domination... breaking away from traditional narrative codes to favor a sensory and physical approach. The stage becomes a space of confrontation where the performers embody, with great intensity, the impulses and contradictions of the characters.

A major figure in the contemporary choreographic scene, Abou Lagraa has been developing demanding work for several years, nourished by dialogue between cultures and aesthetics.

His collaboration with the Opéra de Tunis is part of a dynamic of transmission and openness, bringing together performers from diverse backgrounds around an ambitious artistic project.

An accessible and powerful work, capable of touching a wide audience while offering a renewed reading of a great classic of the repertoire.

With a certain sensuality, very present throughout Bizet's work, Abou Lagraa was able to avoid the trap of exoticism, turning it into a weapon to prove that "we are all Carmen!" La Terrasse
