Approved

We start the premiere with a meeting! On Sunday, November 14, at 5:15 p.m., we invite you to an interview with those who change Carmen in all cases, even awakened in the middle of the night: Teonika Rożynek – composer, Krzysztof Cicheński – director and Julia Kosek – set designer and costume designer. Do you want to know how it fits in cooperation with Bizet? Why is the performance you're going to see not just an intimate version of a great opera, and what can't Carmen forget to be Carmen? Be with us in the Artis Hall or online!

"Carmen. Always death" – spotkanie przedpremierowe

... save me so that only some zeal could save me, but this world, unfortunately, lacked something for which I would be ready to die ...Michel Leiris wrote in "Man's Age", disappointed that adult life is nothing like that of the characters of the greatest classic operas. Carmen. Toujours la mort ”is a performance-installation in which the main character, starting from a similar conviction, transforms into the most famous, iconic woman of European culture. Its metamorphosis is an almost ritual act, a performance restoring dignity to life and satisfying meaning to dying. In the face of death, which is promised not only by the cards, but perhaps also by an incurable disease, malaise, disturbing weakness or anxiety and depression, or simply everyday life, taking part of life with every moment, entering the role of Carmen may be a saving fervor or even a soothing illusion .
