From the opera of Puccini in the voice of Maria Callas, conducted by Karajan, Madame Butterfly Ballet is created. Recalling the epic love story of Cio-Cio San for an American naval officer, leads her to make a decision from which there will be no return.

Without her cultural heritage, without her people, and living as the wife of the American captain, the young Japanese woman will wait for the return of her beloved man, facing poverty and disdain, and supported only by the dictates of her tender heart.

With illumination by Raúl Mendoza and kimonos brought from Japan, this dance show creates beautiful poetical vignettes through the body in movement, from love, passion, deceit, and abandonment.

Playful scenes that afterwards are transformed into a fatal tragedy, this staging takes place in a blank stage with minimum details such as a beam and a bench, in the form of a zen garden, in order to attain the sublime and ethereal of this story.
