Dance project: “Carmen”

Few choreographers have had a greater influence on modern dance theatre than Sasha Waltz. All the greater then was the response to her interpretation of the Carmen story as part of the Berliner Philharmoniker’s Education Dance Project in 2012. This Carmen, however, plays out on the streets of Berlin. The performance, conducted by Simon Rattle, featured Berlin schoolchildren who took a very unique approach to the opera.
