Antonio Gades Company
“Carmen”
The acclaimed Antonio Gades Company, established to perform the great
dancer/choreographer's masterpieces, will present a powerful re-staging
of Gades's classic Carmen.
The show, which began life as Carlos Saura's award-winning film, is
touring around the world in commemoration of its 25th anniversary. Carmen
stars the earthy and sensuous Stella Arauzo, who appeared in many of
Gades's productions, and the formidable Adrian Galia, who has worked
with many celebrated companies and artists, including the National
Ballet of Spain, Cristina Hoyos, and Enrique Morente.
