CARRRMEN!

Composer Ardo Ran Varres Director - Choreographer Ruslan Stepanov As a director I am interested in the psyche and logic of such a strong and unrestrained person like Carmen. What is her motivation for the inadequate and inconsiderate behavior. Also as a whole the emerging of negative stereotypes that result from all her provocativity. Ruslan Stepanov - “Jose, what you ask is impossible. I don’t love you any more. You love me still, and that is why you want to kill me. If I liked, I might tell you some other lie, but I don’t choose to give myself the trouble. Everything is over between us two. You are my /rom/, and you have the right to kill your /romi/, but Carmen will always be free. A /calli/ she was born, and a /calli/ she’ll die.’ Now I don’t love anything, and I hate myself for ever having loved you.” - “I offer you everything if you would only love me again.” - “Love you again? That’s not possible! Live with you? I will not do it!’ -”For the last time I ask you. Will you stay with me?” - “No! no! no!”. P. Merimee “Carmen”
