The Rite of Spring was a milestone in the history of dance.
The employer Diaghilev, back in 1913, paid homage to the ballets of his homeland, Russia, and Igor Stravinsky was commissioned to a new job.
The result was a work that changed the musical language, with a great impact on dance as it marked the beginning of the change from classical to contemporary.
Tomorrow, Tuesday, April 20, at 20:30, Les Ballets de Monte-Carlo, bring to the programming of Dance Hall of Murcia, his tribute to the Ballets Russes with the now legendary The Rite of Spring, under the vision of Scheherazade, which provides the director and choreographer of the company Jean Maillot Christopeh Tickets cost between 20 and 25 Euros.
The Monte Carlo Ballet has its very prestigious remote precedent in the establishment, in 1911, the residence of Diaghilev's Ballets in the Principality of Monaco.
Although the origin of modern ballets dating back to 1985 when, thanks to an initiative of the Princess of Hanover, the company was reborn.
In 1985, after a long and changing history, Les Ballets de Monte-Carlo is named the official carrier of Monaco Princess of Hanover, in accordance with the wishes of his mother, Grace Kelly, Princess of Monaco.
In 1993, Jean-Christophe Maillot (1960, Tours, France) was appointed choreographer and director of Les Ballets, changing the course of this troupe of nearly fifty dancers.
A new destination targeted the creation of its own repertoire, the use of new technologies and their efforts to have the collaboration of artists like Lucinda Childs, Karole Armitage, William Forsythe, Jacopo Godani, Nacho Duato and Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui, among others.
Come to Murcia to present The Rite of Spring.
The argument is based on the history of the ritual sacrifice of a virgin, chosen to celebrate the arrival of spring dance to the death to their tribe.
It is this history that conditions Stravinsky to design a new resource book full of rhythm.
Unlike in previous ballets, works and less breakaway Russian, Stravinsky dared, in this work, to innovate more than what the French modernist (the forefront at that time) had dared to do.
Its release, as might be expected, was a dismal failure: the audience began booing the play when it had not yet completed.
Criticism for its part was divided between the French modernist marvel, and the reactionary post-Romantic writers and romantics who saw it as a succession of loud and incomprehensible sounds and noises.
In the first part, Adoration of the Earth, the land is sanctified, the dancers merge with it.
In the second part, The Sacrifice, the maiden is chosen to be sacrificed to propitiate the spring.
The ballet ends with the terrible dance chosen for sacrifice.
