Dance and Passion with a Cheating Carmen

Scottish Ballet Presents Carmen and Cheating, Lying, Stealing

This week, Carmen, the passionate Spanish cigar girl, hits the stage at the Theatre Royal, along with Cheating, Lying, Stealing, choreographed by Ashley Page, Scottish Ballet's artistic director.

The world premiere of Carmen is staged as a one-act ballet piece and based on the original novella, written by French author Prosper Merimee. Many people are more familiar with the Carmen in Bizet's opera. This rendition is choreographed by Richard Alston, who won the De Valois Award for Outstanding Achievement in Dance at 2008's Critics' Circle National Dance Awards.

In the second half, ardent emotions continue to run high with Cheating, Lying, Stealing. Exploring the psychology of female control though movement, the piece lets the audience observe a couple as they spiral through the demise of their troubled relationship.
