Performance synopsis

The action takes place in an undefined, strange and disturbingly topical place. In the first part, the corps de ballet dancing on stage is joined by special Guests. Thereby, the visitors from the outside become a part of the title rite of spring, which here turns into an extreme game, a challenge and demonstration of manly strength. In part two, the people celebrating the Spring Fertility Rite select one girl who shall be honoured as The Chosen One and dance herself to death.
