- Synopsis:
- Taking his inspiration from the original ballet, Le Sacre du Printemps by Russian composer, Igor Stravinsky, David Bolger creates a bold and vigorous choreography. Stravinsky's score evoked the return of spring and man's need to propitiate the earth by the sacrifice of a young girl who danced herself to death. Bolger's interpretation is a visual metaphor of Stravinsky's music set in the present day.
