Time is limited, the motion is unstoppable, every moment is precious… The new concept of “Carmen” is based on the idea of shortage of time and its transformation. The motives of many heroes’ actions become clear with the understanding of the power of time or its negligence. Carmen, the main heroine of the opera is accompanied by a new character: butterfly. The later is as attractive as Carmen and has a day-long life. The appraisal of time and a unique sense of consciousness unify them. The butterfly turns the sand-watch and the time starts to flow… Beginning… Set in Spain.
