Carmen
Dance Fantasy in One Act
This time Georges Bizet’s renowned opera inspired the performance of Varidance. However, our performance is not set in historic Seville, but in present-day Hungary. Let us say, in a small rural community where the members of a much-closed community populate this passionate, immersive story, with Carmen, the beautiful gipsy girl at their head. The performance shows an amalgamation of Hungarian and gipsy dances accompanied by Bizet’s fantastic music played by the Karaván Família.
A long time ago we were birds, like all other beautiful birds.
We had no home, nor house,
Yet, the world belonged to us.
However dreary this life is,
We are birds, still.
Our wings may have turned arms, the skies still await us.
