Hara-kiri
Hara-kiri is a powerful ritual in Japan, with a profound significance in the collective conscience. Didier Theron sees this act of sacrifice and purification as similar to European pagan rituals that inspired Stravinsky. For Theron, the form of this element of Japanese culture is rich with signs. Performed on a large white square, elevated (or lowered) by a ceiling of forty fluorescent lights, six dancers represent a family group, the beginning of humanity.
