Johan Inger, whose work is rarely seen in the UK, has reimagined the classic tale of seduction and obsession with choreography that combines contemporary and classical movement.
Nine large movable mirrors frame the action—transporting audiences from a town square through to the troubled mind of Don José. Menace and foreboding loom over the stage, thanks to additional music by Marc Alvarez which complements Bizet and Shchedrin’s score, performed live by English National Ballet Philharmonic.
