The rite of spring. Musique Igor Stravinski 3. Costumes Mieke Kockelkorn. Ballet for 19 dancers. Note of intent The relationship between man and nature fascinates and worries Martin Harriague. In many ways, The Rite of Spring was revolutionary progress, both in its choreography by Nijinksy and the score. This time he renounces all physical lyricism because the music makes him do so; he concentrates on the expressive power of primitive movement and fractal figures through which the group coils, unfolds, contracts as the living reappears, and makes its way everywhere before exploding.
One physically feels the wild energy and timeless fear that inhabits this group confronted with the violence of the living, purified by the rite. We perceive the savagery and the necessity of the final offering of the chosen one, a feminine principle embodying the energy of spring, the sap, pure and healthy, which rises, an allegory of the living that rises towards the light.
