“I began with the idea of unravelling Carmen the woman… to find the vulnerability beneath the cold, heartless exterior. In the process of research, there was so much to unravel: I searched for Bizet and found Shchedrin” Dada Masilo

The European classic of Spanish bad-girl Carmen is brought to life through Masilo's signature passion and energy. Sassy, sexy and confident, Masilo strips Flamenco back to its African origins accompanied by the music of Rodion Shchedrin's Carmen Suite Ballet.

"This Carmen is more heartless than Lady Macbeth - she can kill, she can tease, she can break men with the flick of an eyelash, the thrust of her body or the flexing of her wrists. She's tempestuous, bold and flamboyant, and she snatches the audience attention with characteristic urgency...you cannot pull your eyes off her." - Cue

"Simply superb...! The way Masilo moves is breathtaking...pliable, and sexy...There may never have been a bolder, more erotic Carmen."
