THE RITE OF SPRING

EMANUEL GAT DANCE (2009)

Emanuel Gat’s critically acclaimed version of THE RITE OF SPRING combines Igor Stravinsky’s legendary musical score with cuban salsa dancing. At full speed, couples form, break off, partners are changed without the movement stopping, forming an uninterrupted chain of salsa and creating a crescendo of anxiety until the final choice is made.

Dancing salsa on Stravinsky, it‘s possible – and as a proof we have the burning presentation by Emanuel Gat. His interpretation of THE RITE OF SPRING is both iconoclast and exciting.
