Choreographer Peter Breuer is known for telling grand themes in a captivating way through his ballet performances, as seen in his double work Carmen / Boléro.
Carmen is not just an artistic figure but also a cultural icon, leaving a lasting impression in the world of ballet and beyond. She embodies the longing for freedom, adventure, and passion—while at the same time dancing with death. Carmen serves as a projection of our dreams and fears, ensuring that her fascination endures. Drawing inspiration from Prosper Mérimée’s novella, Breuer has created a gripping narrative ballet that captivates audiences. He merges the dramatic story with Rodion Shchedrin’s Carmen Suite and the vibrant rhythms of the Spanish music group Radio Tarifa to craft a striking experience.
The evening’s grand finale is formed by the concluding part of Breuer’s Boléro, based on Arthur Schnitzler’s novella La Ronde. With a passion that only dance can convey, this choreography explores the many facets of human relationships. The dancers unfold the complexity of love, desire, and disappointment, inviting the audience to immerse themselves in the emotional currents of the characters.
