An ardent admirer of Stravinsky, choreographer Stijn Celis explores two of the main works of this Russian composer. In Noces, the Belgian choreographer presents his vision of a forced marriage, celebrated with the complicity of the community. Transported by the power of the composer?s expressionist score, twenty-four dancers confront each other in a tumultuous Balkan peasant wedding. With the same number of dancers, Celis? The Rite of Spring expresses the rhythmic complexity, brutality and vital energy of the composition, as well as its monumental evocation of the inevitable chaos.
