The Rite of Spring and Elite Syncopations
An evening of tremendous contrast...
The Rite of Spring (2011)Choreography: Christopher Hampson Intense and visceral, Christopher Hampson’s The Rite of Spring, created originally for Atlanta Ballet, is presented 100 years after the original production revolutionised the world of dance and music. Set to Stravinsky’s exhilarating score, performed live by the full Scottish Ballet Orchestra, Hampson uses three dancers – two men and a woman - to reinvent the now infamous story of remorseless human sacrifice with brutal physicality and primal energy in this challenging work that examines themes of violence, obedience and domination. “The Rite of Spring is a spectacle to see with a message everyone should hear. “

Elite Syncopations (1974)Choreography: Kenneth MacMillan In stark contrast Kenneth MacMillan’s Elite Syncopations is an irresistible carnival of colourful characters, psychedelic body-skimming costumes and vibrant ragtime music performed live on stage by a 12-piece band. Inspired by the social dances of the 1920s, MacMillan’s dazzling characterisations are both witty and touching as the dancers flirt, dance and vie with each other for the limelight in this uplifting ballet from one of the most innovative choreographers of the 20th century. “Here is Mr MacMillan in full verve. That’s entertainment.”
