Ballet Hispanico

Fathom Events and Lincoln Center invite you to explore and celebrate Latino culture through dance with Ballet Hispanicoâ??s performances of CARMEN.maquia and Club Havana at cinemas nationwide on Thursday, November 12. Ballet Hispanico will â??whisk us away to contemporary danceâ??s hottest spotâ? (Washington Post) in this imaginative and theatrical showcase of Latin-inspired dancing at its best. In Club Havana, the intoxicating rhythms of the conga, rumba, mambo, and cha cha are brought to life by choreographer Pedro Ruiz, himself a native of Cuba. Hailed as a â??masterpieceâ? by the Chicago Sun-Times, Gustavo Ramírez Sansanoâ??s CARMEN.maquia is a Picasso-inspired, contemporary take on Bizetâ??s classic opera about a passionate gypsy. Riveting from start to finish, the physically charged and sensual choreography fuses contemporary dance with nods to the Spanish paso doble and flamenco.
