Scene from: The Car Man
Composer: Music by Terry Davies with Rodion Shchedrin's Carmen suite, after Bizet's Carmen
Conductor:
The musical dance sensation from Adventures in Motion Pictures, the creators of Swan Lake. Matthew Bourne uses the stirring and passionate music of Bizet's Carmen as the basis for a completely new and original tale. The dreams and passions of a small American community are shattered by the arrival of a handsome stranger. Fuelled by heat and desire, the inhabitants are drawn into a spiral of greed, opportunism, sex and murder. In the dust and decay of a small mid-western town, a heady mix of lust, betrayal and revenge unfolds as the characters in Bourne's drama struggle with their own guilt and treachery, and the tragic consequences that follow.
