SUMMARY:Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun and The Rite of Spring
DESCRIPTION:THE RITE OF SPRING\n\n\n\nIn Marie Chouinard’s work\, The Rite of Spring occupies a special position. In choosing to re-examine this powerful hymn to life\, she has created her first choreography based on a musical score. Igor Stravinsky’s The Rite of Spring explores a New World and marks the entry of dance into modernity. In this avant-garde work\, Marie Chouinard again finds an original pulsation that is essential to her movement. Far from contradicting the rhythm of her dance\, the cadence and force of the music inspire\, accompany and energize her\, forming both the echo and the musical counterpoint of an organic\, vigorous and vivid choreography. \n\n\n\n\nThere is no story in my Rite- no development\, no cause and effect. Only synchronicity. It is as if I were dealing with the very moment after the instant life first appeared. The performance is the unfolding of that moment. I have the feeling that before that moment there was an extraordinary burst of light\, a flash of lightning. \nMarie Chouinard\n\n\n\nPrelude to the Afternoon of a Faun\n\n\n\nWhen he wrote the Afternoon of a Faun in 1876\, Stéphane Mallarmé fulfilled a dream: to write poetry for the theatre. The poem’s musicality inspired Claude Debussy to compose Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun in 1894. In 1912\, in Paris\, Vaslav Nijinski created his first choreography\, based on Mallarmé’s poem. In it\, he gave life – intense and sensual life – to his own raw and animalistic erotic nature\, thereby abruptly breaking with classical tradition. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis show contains partial nudity. Please contact the box office if you require more information. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBEHIND THE WORK\n\n\n\n\n\nMarie Chouinard is a director\, an author\, a visual artist\, and she also creates choreographies for site-specific installations\, for the screen\, and in real-time for the web. Named Officière des Arts et des Lettre in France\, recipient of a Bessie Award in New York\, she has received some thirty of the most prestigious awards and honours. Her works\, radical and profound\, with a unique signature are nonetheless enduring and appear in the repertoires of major international ballet companies. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis event is organized by:
