More than a hundred years after the premiere of Igor Stravinsky’s The Rite of Spring in 1913 at the Théâtre des Champs Elysees in Paris by Diaghilev’s Ballets Russes, it is considered one of the masterpieces in the history of classical music. 

The Mariinsky Theatre of St. Petersburg invited Sasha Waltz to perform this extraordinary score, which is so symbolic in the history of dance. A masterful composition, it’s full of tension ,and characterized by an accentuated rhythm and the multiplicity of its textures and musical motifs. Its dissonances have made the work one of the most famous pieces of music of the modern avant-garde and most representative of the 20th century.

The show is based on Russian Paganism, with original  choreography by Vatslav Nijinski.
