Carmen and Walking Mad
2024-05-04 14:00, 2024-05-04 19:30, 2024-05-05 14:00 | Morrison Center, 2201 West Cesar Chavez Lane, Boise, Idaho, 83725
Passion. Intrigue. Murder. Madness. What more could you want in an evening at the ballet? After a condensed version created in 2022, Ricardo Amarante returns to create the full Carmen to Rodion Shchedrin’s score for percussion and strings after the well-known Bizet opera. With new scenic designs by Andrew Boyce (Peter and the Wolf), we are thrilled to see this intense narrative brought to life through the lens of Amarante’s seamless and sensual choreography.
Since its 2001 creation for the heralded Netherlands Dance Theatre, Johan Inger’s Walking Mad has been a staple for contemporary dance companies the world over. Set to the well-known music of Ravel’s Bolero and Arvo Pärt’s Für Alina, this intense (and sometimes comical) romp through scenes created by nine dancers and an ever-changing wall is an experience you will never forget.

Doors will open Sunday, May 5 (Cinco De Mayo!) at 1pm, with the concert running from 2-4pm and service wrapping up around 5pm.

Sono Fuego derives its name from the word Sono, which in many languages relates to “sound,” and Fuego, the Spanish word for “fire” which has also gained numerous other implied meanings: excellent, spicy, sultry, unstoppable. The name implies a worldwide influence from and appreciation for music, performed with passion. No matter how you translate it, this talented, playful, entertaining ensemble has been a music scene fan favorite for years, bringing audiences their unique blend of Latin, jazz, flamenco, world-beat and pop styles through a tasteful but intense mastery of their respective instruments.
While numerous factors have kept Sono Fuego from performing more than just a couple shows a year together recently, this special Cinco De Mayo concert is a reigniting of the collaboration between these three long-time musicians and friends.
