Carmen evaluation – stripped-back ballet focuses on the femicide | English Nationwide Ballet - Livdose
Who is Carmen? A free-spirited lover, a girl bent on destruction, or a pragmatist utilizing the one forex she has to get what she needs? In Johan Inger’s ballet, given its UK premiere by English Nationwide Ballet, it’s onerous to say. She flirts (and extra) with each man she passes, however merely for sport it appears. And it seems this isn’t actually Carmen’s ballet – she doesn’t even get a solo – and the story belongs to Don José (Rentaro Nakaaki), a person so tortured by the fantasy of a girl who won’t ever love him that it leads him to homicide her.
The bleakness solely comes later although. All of it begins out a lot hotter, with Bizet’s perky overture and the full of life impulse and assault of the choreography. You are feeling a rush of power as the ladies arrive, storming the stage with ruffled clothes and self-possession. Swedish choreographer Inger provides us limbs angled like arrows; deep, squat plies in second place adopted by our bodies zipped up on the vertical. There’s levity too and many floorwork, all dealt with simply by ENB’s agile dancers – not en pointe, however on level.
