Barcelona Flamenco Ballet presents a bold interpretation of Bizet's iconic myth, Carmen, which goes beyond the classic narrative and addresses the topical issue of the struggle for women's rights. In this version, Carmen, a strong and passionate gypsy, confronts an unequal world and becomes a symbol of freedom and courage. Her turbulent romance with the bullfighter Escamillo turns into a thrilling story, expressed through impressive choreography, complemented by the virtuoso technique of zapateado — rhythmic heel tapping that gives rise to the fire and passion of flamenco.
