The Russian composer´s seminal work of the 20th century, written during turmoil and unrest, still haunts us with its dissonant and forceful beauty and its themes of ritual and sacrifice. Now we witness another spring ritual with 10 athletic dancers on stage, carrying the monumental weight of the past together, striving for the moment, in silence, as it runs through.Concept // Katrín GunnarsdóttirChoreography // Katrín Gunnarsdóttir in collaboration with performersCostume design // Eva Signý BergerLighting design // Valdimar JóhannssonPhotographer // Owen Fiene
