The Rite of Spring
Sagar Forniés

The original ballet of The Rite of Spring shows the ritual of a pagan tribe asking for the spring to return. The ceremony finishes when the tribe obliges a young virgin to dance until she dies from exhaustion. A community's member in exchange for the spring: a human life in exchange for more life.Based on this main idea, Sagar Forniés illustrates a panoramic journey through the evolution of Humanity and the Earth.

Sagar Forniés offers an Incidental Video, that accompanies Stravinsky's music, inviting us to think about our place in the evolution of the Earth, the metaphor of sacrifice, and about the urge to save the planet to revive.

Premiered in Paris at Théâtre des Champs Elysées Paris, to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Stravinsky's ballet

A production of Agency Camera.
