The purpose of this study is to analyze the main character (Carmen) by means of the dance and the red and black colors, which are the colors both of Flamenco and of Carmen as a character. Another aim is to present the diachronic evolution of Flamenco as a dance and comment the role of the gestures as part of the code of the Flamenco dance. This study has resulted in the production of a peformance called A dialogue among Carmens, which testifies the development of the theme we have chosen to study. Mikhail Bakhtim has been elected as the basis to study dialogism, Antonio Candido has helped in the study of the characters, Eugenio Borba for the study of the gestures and Agnes Heller has offered us material to study colors in general. / Esta pesquisa desenvolve um diálogo entre a obra Carmen, de Prosper Mérimée e as adaptações de Carlos Saura e Jean-Luc Godard.
