[This text has been translated electronically.] In Igor Stravinsky's »Le Sacre du Printemps«, the archaic rite of sacrifice leads to an ecstasy that is not alien to flamenco. At the premiere of Stravinsky's work, the Russian ballet dancer Vaslav Nijinsky began his famous production by stamping and gesticulating wildly, triggering one of the biggest scandals in dance and music history in 1913. In his choreography, Israel Galván condenses the complex work to its essence. He himself dances the percussion, and is thus both musician and dancer. Sylvie Courvoisier and Cory Smythe close the evening with »Spectre d'un Sacre«, which is set apart by more delicate sounds and rhythms.
