The Rite of Spring || Behind the scenes The Rite of Spring’s 1913 premiere shocked Paris audiences of the time, evoking more controversy and wielding more influence than almost any other piece of music or dance in history. Nicolo Fonte’s 2014 version maintains the power and drama of the original, pairing Stravinsky’s iconic score with a libretto that dives into themes of community, ritual sacrifice and birth and re-birth in subtle and abstract ways.

Reconstructing the physical language of Flamenco and challenging gender norms, Israel Galván weaves Flamenco with Igor Stravinsky’s The Rite of Spring. Using his body as a sound box, he becomes consumed by the imposing score, where rhythm is the driving force. Alongside The Rite of Spring are two additional contrasting musical works, Sonata K87 by Domenico Scarlatti and Winnsboro Cotton Mill Blues by Frederic Rzewski. http://bit.ly/3TOKcPK | Sadler's Wells
