“CARMEN” by Carlos Saura

On 24 April, at the Grütli Cinema, the film “Carmen” by the renowned director Carlos Saura will be screened. The screening will be attended by the dancer and choreographer Antonio Perujo.

The story follows Antonio (Antonio Gades), the director of a dance company working on Bizet’s “Carmen.” When he finds the perfect interpreter, also named Carmen (Laura del Sol), he begins a toxic relationship that mirrors the opera’s libretto. ‘Carmen’ is a tale of love and jealousy where destructive desire inevitably leads the characters to ruin.
