Following the performance with Holland Festival at Carré last June, Wu Tsang brings her film adaptation of the Carmen myth, La gran mentira de la muerte, to De Balie during the winter holidays.
The film installation will be presented alongside a rich programme of films, talks and performances, that will explore the myth of Carmen and cast her in a new light. More information about the public programme will follow soon.
