Carmen ballet night. An excellent dancer anchored in his times will present a really modern style based on his classical and modern practice. Of talent and hard work, the Dancer is born. Of the meeting and cooperation with Maurice Béjart, the Choreographer is born. A golden medallist of many international competitions. A graduate of Conservatoire National Supérieur de danse de Paris and the famous School of Dance, i.e. OPERA DE PARIS, a former soloist of the legendary ballet of Maurice Béjart, will present CARMEN of our times! Francoi Mauduit, playing the cards of genders and desires, would like to express the complexity of feelings and emotions in his adaptation. Through refined choreography and assertive theatricality, he spins a tale where women and men debunk stereotypes and love appears as a rebellious bird! Carmen, a woman whose dance hypnotises, desires freedom and dreams about an escape with Don José. This absorbing story laced with passion is enhanced with music of George Bizen, an author of one of immortal and most frequently performed masterpieces in the history of opera. Everything in the beautiful environment of the Forest Opera in Sopot, as an announcement of an unforgettable night.
