Rite of Spring/Folding
In
Folding, mysterious figures with heads elongated by mollsc-like caps, float across the stage to the sounds of Buddhist chant and the haunting melodies of John Tavener.
Rite of Spring jolts all preconceptions. Performed on a 42 x 46 foot shimmering floor painting by Shen Wei, the dancers flow across the stage like a shoal of fish, turning or changing course on a knife edge as Stravinsky's music accelerates or slows. Dance Umbrella 2004
