Quorum Ballet: Rite of Spring in Shanghai

Date: Jan 24 - 7:15 pm

Venue: Shanghai Oriental Art Center

Price: 180-680 yuan

The work's premiere on May 29, 1913, at the Theatre des Champs-Elysees in Paris, was scandalous. In addition to the outrageous costumes, unusual choreography and bizarre story of pagan sacrifice, Stravinsky's musical innovations tested the patience of the audience to the fullest. Rite of Spring, which started off with excerpts of Swan Lake interpreted by renowned ballet dancers Carlos Pinillos and Filipa Castro from the Portuguese Companhia Nacional do Bailado, had guest ballet dancers Maria Selestskaja and Teun Van Roosmalen from the Royal Ballet of Flanders perform too. This was followed by a powerful performance by contemporary Quorum dancers in "A modern perspective" about complex relationships.
