"The four dancers come from Netherlands Dance Theatre III, which Kylián created in the 1990s to provide opportunities for dancers 40 and older. The role of Carmen is played by Sabine Kupferberg, who was married to Kylián at one point. She has tremendous magnetism - as a Carmen should - and the other three dancers are just as good. Car Men isn't a dance piece in the usual sense. One might better refer to it as a piece about movement and facial expression that doesn't fit into any particular category. It's fun and thought-provoking - definitely worth the time!" (ClassicalNet)
