Ballet Hispanico in CARMEN.maquia at Mahalia Jackson Theater

Returning after Dona Peron’s triumphant reception in 2022, Ballet Hispánico brings the premiere of CARMEN.maquia, a Picasso-inspired contemporary take on Bizet’s beloved classic by choreographer by Gustavo Ramírez Sansano. The physically charged choreography fuses contemporary dance with nods to the Spanish paso doble and flamenco. “Emotionally fierce, intensely sensual, brilliantly danced and stunningly designed…riveting from start to finish.” (Chicago Sun-Times) “Ballet Hispánico shows what it is to be Latino in the modern world.” (Financial Times) "An experience unlike any other in the Latin dance space we’ve seen in quite some time…. CARMEN.maquia continues to haunt us in the most beautiful way." -Latina Magazina
