Roxey Ballet presents: "Carmen" & "Frida Kahlo"

Celebrate Spring with Roxey Ballet's Carmen & Frida Kahlo.

About Carmen: This one-act ballet choreographed by company founder Mark Roxey is a contemporary ballet, stylized in abstract decor. “Carmen” is a sensually vivid and passionate story of lust and treachery based on the fabled temptress of Seville. The story follows the downward spiral of “Carmen” after Prosper Merimee’s novel and Georges Bizet’s opera.

About Frida: This piece choreographed by Giovanni Ravelo tells the story of Frida Kahlo , a Mexican painter known for her many portraits, and works inspired by the nature and artifacts of Mexico. Her paintings often had strong autobiographical elements and mixed realism with fantasy. Kahlo is known for painting about her experience of chronic pain. This work explores the life of one of the most profound artists of our time.
