Antonio, director of a flamenco dance company, is preparing a stage version of Carmen, inspired by Mérimée’s novella and Bizet’s opera. When he finds the ideal lead performer, a young dancer who is also named Carmen, he begins an obsessive relationship with her that gradually mirrors the tragic story of the work itself. Desire, jealousy, and theatrical performance become intertwined until they lead the characters toward destruction.
Cinetopia’s Salon events bring cinema into conversation with performing arts in a convivial setting designed to spark conversation, inspired by the spirit of Paris’s literary salons.
Each Salon pairs a thought-provoking film with either dance, music or performance, with drinks and nibbles and time to discuss what you’ve seen with others in the beautiful surroundings of the French Institute of Scotland.
"Repeatedly, the depicted scenes seamlessly transform into sophisticated dances, electrified by the Flamenco music of guitarist Paco de Lucia. Saura intertwines the process of material development in the dance studio with discourses on art and life." Busch Entertainment Media
