Stockholm House of Culture & City Theatre
The mystery and great surge of the creative power of Spring. The cycle of nature - both violent and beautiful, where something has to die so that new existences can sprout. Spring's regeneration, summer's explosion of life, the woeful farewell of the autumn and finally, decomposition. Fredrik Benke Rydman's choreography of The Rite of Spring, holds the balance between technology and nature in focus. If disturbed, nothing can live.
A performance in two acts containing both original and contemporary music, Fredrik Benke Rydman is on stage in a playful duet with an industrial robot, 20 street dancers and 5000 litres of water.
The Rite of Spring was performed for the first time by the Russian ballet at the Théâtre des Champs Élysées in Paris, May 29 1913. An intriguing modernist dance drama, composed by Igor Stravinskij.
