Igor Stravinsky's "The Rite of Spring" was premiered in 1913 by
Sergei Diaghilev's Ballets Russes under the choreography of Vaslav
Nijinsky, in the Theatre des Champs Elysees in Paris. To this day
it is considered the biggest theater scandal of the twentieth
century. With its revolutionary score and choreography, "The Rite
of Spring" can be seen as one of modernism's great breakthrough
events, and it is the most choreographed ballet in the world.
Addressing the ballet's context and history, this anthology
includes a selection of archival documentation alongside
contributions by artists and performers Eleanor Antin, Marc Bauer,
Dara Friedman, Millicent Hodson and Kenneth Archer, Karen Kilimnik,
Sara Masuger, Vaslav Nijinksy, Silke Otto-Knapp, Yvonne Rainer and
Babette Mangolte, Lucy Stein, Alexis Marguerite Teplin, Julie
Verhoeven and Mary Wigman, among others.
