A Teatro Praga’s performance with the collaboration of the Metropolitan Orchestra.
Following the Shakespeare/Purcell trilogy presented between 2010 and 2019, Teatro Praga returns to the large-scale stages in partnership with the Metropolitan Symphonic Orchestra to present Stravinsky’s ballet, The Rite of Spring, originally choreographed by Nijinsky. Given that this piece is a milestone in the history of the performing arts, and bearing in mind its symbolic significance, Teatro Praga’s The Rite of Spring carries on the will to bring history to the stage and to understand its echoes today. A celebration of the planet and the place we inhabit, which degenerates into a sacrificial ritual, will serve as guiding principle to reflect upon the inextricable blend of existence, favouring a history of mutual influences. The strength of life, of spring, is also the strength of abandoning and renouncing to all sorts of bodies.
