Strike

Carmen, the passionate lover, the free-spirited woman, the fury. Who is she really? Strike explores the legendary story of opera composer Georges Bizet. A hybrid experience where opera, film, flamenco, and performance come together. At the same time, the ensemble dissects themes such as desire, violence, migration, and resistance. Who is Carmen really? A symbol of love, a liberation, or a threat that must be subdued time and again. The performance combines live performance and film. As the images on the screen fade, a new story emerges all around. Art without borders Moved by the Motion is an international multidisciplinary collective that lets language, movement, image, and sound collide in a quirky, collective working method. After years of residency in Schauspielhaus Zürich, they return to their base: creating together and breaking down boundaries between genres. Strike is directed by co-founder Wu Tsang, a leading American performer and filmmaker, known for her work on identity, gender, and representation.
