The Italian premiere of Carmen by South Africa's celebrity choreographer Dada Masilo. Carmen, which Masilo created for 12 dancers of the Dance Factory, comes after her revolutionary version of Swan Lake – watch the mix of classical arm and African-style leg movements – which was performed at Romaeuropa festival last year. Masilo, who was born in Soweto, has both a classical ballet and a contemporary African dance training, and is unique in her contemporary interpretation of the classics, mixing traditional techniques with high-speed African dance. The music here is part Bizet, part Rodion Chtchedrin with extracts from Arvo Part.
