Wu Tsang has curated several films that have inspired her work on Carmen. Today we screen the television episode Carmen y la libertad (1996).
Hired by the Andalucía Opera Consortium, the controversial Stage Director Stephan Lupasko arrives in Seville to organize a special staging of Bizet’s Opera Carmen. In the midst of developing this daring production, Lupasko becomes ill and goes to a Swiss sanatorium.
