Opera Carmen: Italian Stefano Poda inconsistencies

is likely that viewers will have bowled since the first five minutes.
Half an hour later, the first yawn, and an hour later, another look at the clock. Finally, some secret gratitude because it's over. Italian Stefano Poda
achieved a number of human beings to form a body whose buds have level tone plastics.
mass movements give life to a creature that moves like a huge human canvas. But the effectiveness dies soon because such opportunities are no longer impressive plastic and become monotonous. Are the same formula is repeated choreographic Pruning from Aida in 2005 and Falstaff in 2007.

Carmen is possible that this can be measured from records for contemporary choreography, and it is also true that any operator is free to paint a mustache on the Mona Lisa or make a helicopter landing on stage. Wrong, in this case is that you committed a dishonest advertising to announce the introduction of "Carmen. Bizet opera. Poda Stefano production "and not what actually was: a choreography-based Pruning in the opera Carmen.

And if we strive to abandon the idea of \u200b\u200ba traditional Carmen, we found a supermarket in inconsistencies. Here are some: What makes a crazy moving around the stage all the time? Is it perhaps a spirit? Is it the embodiment of pleasure? Carmen, of course, recalls his first appearance, his clothing and glasses, Michael Jackson. What are three men and a woman, topless, hanging from the ceiling? Why are handled the chorus? Why is the human body, at some point, it suggests homosexuality and bisexuality? What are you trying to say the director to select the most gallant boys, who neither sing nor dance, but which puts stripers showing the buttocks in the foreground?
The answer to these questions Pruning is trying to exploit the curiosity of the viewer. Shows a preference for the display of the libido that makes his work on an issue, at times, "sexes." This commentary is not a moral review of the assembly, but the observation of a phenomenon. Pruning has good potential for development in these areas choreography (even could be more daring).
The problem is that out of the closet operatic, remains wedded to the traditional justifications. In addition, because of the publicity, more than two thousand people dressed in elegant evening dress because they thought it would take a night of opera at the Teatro Nacional.
