This past week I had the true pleasure of immersing in Rodion Shchedrin’s re-imagining of Bizet’s “Carmen” as executed to perfection by the Philadelphia Orchestra and danced by Brian Sanders’ JUNK. Potent, sexual, and sublime. No single image can do justice to the language of this production, so here are two. Imagine ballet, Fosse, pole dancing, and gymnastics “horses” in a sexually charged production. (Thank you to Cynthia & Michael DeStefano!)
