2. Rite of Spring | Havana Nights
A night where modernism meets mambo! Let the rhythms carry you on a wild musical journey! Igor Stravinsky’s Rite of Spring, a ballet score composed in 1912-1913, is considered one of the most influential works of the 20th century. Its premiere, at the Théâtre de Champs-Elysées on May 29, 1913, caused a near-riot due to its avant-garde rhythms and harmonies. This innovative landmark work pushed the boundaries of classical music and choreography, marking a new era in modernism. Featuring the DEOS Contemporary Ballet Company with newly commissioned choreography, we bring this iconic piece to life in a way that captures its original spirit of groundbreaking creativity.
