- This work features loud music, nudity, booming sounds, prolonged total darkness, smoke and/or dust in the air, and the use of aromas. There is no spoken word. This work is a sensory experience. Entry is through a dark tunnel with a leaf-covered earth floor, which is accessed barefoot. There will be a space at the entrance to leave your shoes.
Dancing until death. The illness is real — it’s called choreomania, or the dancing plague — with cases recorded from the Middle Ages through the 17th century. Groups dancing nonstop until collapse. That eerie idea became a starting point for José Vidal’s reinterpretation of The Rite of Spring by Igor Stravinsky.
José Vidal’s version turns that ritual into a collective act, with 47 bodies guiding a full sensory experience. Smell, color, temperature, texture, movement, and sound surround audiences who enter the space barefoot. “Living an intense contemporary ritual is vital — a moment to feel part of a shared fabric. The invitation is to let emotion rise: the ecstasy, the release, all of it. That’s why the piece calls for sensory participation through the environment, as well as the moment when people are invited to join the ritual itself,” the creators explain.
In the piece, the opening minutes of Stravinsky’s score are reworked through loops, while preserving the original evolutionary arc of the music. This distinctive musical approach was created by composer Jim Hast. From vocal work and musical exploration, the company shapes a movement language that also brings in elements from urban dance — hip-hop, house — and electronic music. When the work was restaged for the 2017 Holland Festival, the music had to be reimagined again by Andrés Abarzúa and Jim Hast, using the same compositional strategies.
Another highlight of this version, beyond featuring dancers from the original historical cast, is the addition of new performers and the participation of German artists Lena Strüetzke and Victor Bolzmann, invited with the support of the Goethe-Institut.
