Benjamin Abel Meirhaeghe reinterprets this iconic work by composer Igor Stravinsky and choreographer Vaslav Nijinsky and shines his contemporary light on the timeless theme of sacrifice and transformation. 

As a reflection of Stravinsky’s ritualistic score, Lander Gyselinck composes and improvises compelling new music on drums and electronics. On stage, Meirhaeghe presents portraits of three women – performers Sophia Rodriguez, Charly Ange Fogaroli and Courtney May Robertson – whose lives in and out of the spotlight have, each in their own way, come at a price. a rite of spring promises to not only be a tribute to a classic but also a radical account of sacrifices women make today.
