Made in 2014, Yo Carmen was featured in last year’s Edinburgh Festival. It is a show with a powerful message and one which is occasionally riveting, mostly when Pagés herself is the focus of attention.
For the Edinburgh International Festival, María Pagés Company offers a new perspective on the character of Carmen, from the Bizet opera, in their production Yo, Carmen at the Edinburgh Playhouse.
It’s not often I leave a dance performance with a smile on my face, but it’s impossible not to feel uplifted by the UK debut of Dunas. This is not only an intriguing, thought-provoking collaboration of the best of flamenco and contemporary dance. It is quite simply refreshing, inspiring fun.
