WHAT: Natalie Weir's Carmen Sweet.
Spend the night with the definitive seductress of stage as she weaves her deliciously wicked wiles through one of Expressions Dance Company's most loved productions.
Performed to Rodion Shchedrin's gripping Carmen Suite by six EDC dancers, this iconic tale of Spanish heat and gypsy passion unravels when naïve soldier Don Josè has his heart ignited by the fiery Carmen.
Josè's attempts to tame the freedom-loving beauty are futile, and when she leaves him for the famous matador Escamillo, all three are engulfed in the flames of jealousy and revenge.
Natalie Weir's Carmen is free spirit; dangerous, volatile and vulnerable, brought to vivid life by three dancers playing her different states of mind and alter egos.
WHEN: Tuesday, November 17 from 8pm
WHERE: BMEC 109 William Street
