The Car Man
Sadler's Wells Theatre
Matthew Bourne sets Carmen in a 1950s garage diner in the American Mid-West. A stranger arrives and it all goes. You get the story: desire, betrayal, revenge, the kind of emotional escalation that justifies dance as more than pure technique. The choreography has real weight and the Sadler's Wells space gives it room to breathe.
Shchedrin's Carmen arrangement drives the piece hard. Go if you want something that actually lands; it stays with you after the lights come up.
