BALLET HISPÁNICO: CARMEN.maquia

Ballet Hispánico return to Curve for Let’s Dance International Frontiers 2025 with their electrifying reimagining of CARMEN, a contemporary take on Bizet’s beloved classic. The physically charged and sensual choreography fuses contemporary dance with nods to the Spanish paso doble, flamenco and movement of the Latin American Diaspora.

The full-length work is choreographed by Gustavo Ramírez Sansano, whose work, 18+1, featured as part of Ballet Hispánico’s repertoire at LET’S DANCE INTERNATIONAL FRONTIERS 2022.

“This Carmen has a spare, elegant, Modernist look.” – Brian Seibert, The New York Times

“Ramírez’s movement is refreshingly unique…. Ballet Hispánico’s ensemble plays many parts and manoeuvres through humorous and nuanced moments with ease and clarity.” – Broadway World

“An experience unlike any other in the Latin dance space we’ve seen in quite some time…. CARMEN.maquia continues to haunt us in the most beautiful way.” – Latina Magazine

Age guidance: 13+ Running time: To be confirmed – no interval

Ballet Hispánico was founded in 1970 by Tina Ramirez – challenging iconic representations and exposing the joy and celebration to be found in Latinidad. Today, it is the largest Latin American cultural organisation in the United States and one of America’s Cultural Treasures. Eduardo Vilaro joined Ballet Hispánico as a company dancer in 1985, becoming the organisation’s second Artistic Director in 2009 and CEO in 2015. Vilaro has built on Ramirez’s impact: expanding and deepening a legacy showcasing the depth of Latin American cultures and exposing the intersectionality found in the Diaspora.

Led by Serendipity Institute for Black Arts and Heritage, LET’S DANCE INTERNATIONAL FRONTIERS 2025 celebrates its fifteenth anniversary with a rich programme exploring the theme Intersection: Diasporic Dialogues. The programme features trailblazing dancers and companies who have forged new movement vocabularies and championed the voices of the African, African Caribbean and Latin American Diasporas.
