Chaillot – Théâtre National de la danse
Creation 2013
If there are two words that could sum up Francisco Ortuño Millán’s Carmen Lilith, they would perhaps be “emotions” and “surprises”. Emotions like those felt throughout this show where Carmen the icon and Lilith the perverse intertwine in a long complaint mixing voice, images and dance… “Surprises” then. Then there are the surprises. By confronting the eternal myth of Carmen with that of Lilith, the man-devouring seductress of the Hebrew tradition, Francisco Ortuño Millán blurs all the reference points of the Andalusian cliché. Michel Mompontet
Director and author Francisco Ortuño Millán Coproduction Artemovimiento / Chaillot – Théâtre national de la Danse
