Playing the sultry title role in “Carmen Jones” fulfills a lifelong dream for @anikaaroundtheworld. The Classic Stage Company production resets the story to a parachute factory in South Carolina during World War II. Carmen Jones is both the object of men’s attention and women’s jealousy. Joe (played by Clifton Duncan) is committed to someone else, but it’s Carmen who turns his life upside down, drawing him to follow her to Chicago. “Her language is sex — whether it’s being had or not, it’s the potential promise of sex, the energy of sexual dalliances past,” @anikaaroundtheworld said. “But she doesn’t owe Joe one thing. She doesn’t even say there will be something for him at the end of that train ride.” When it had its premiere in 1943, “Carmen Jones” was among the most ambitious all-black musicals of its time. But it also drew criticism for vernacular language that reinforced stereotypes about African-Americans. Beyond the language, @anikaaroundtheworld thinks people feared reviving the musical because it shows a sexually empowered black woman. It’s “messy, dirty, lush, sweaty and human,” she said. But the show remains a timely reminder of what men expect from women, she added. @vincenttullo took this photo of @anikaaroundtheworld on the set of #CarmenJones.
