Adapted from Igor Stravinsky's ballet of the same name, Chinese-Australian choreographer Zhang Xiaoxiong's Rite of Spring deals with people's fear and lust, as exposed in the process of an ancient tribal girl dancing to death after she was chosen as a sacrifice. The first half of the show premiered at the 2012 Taipei International Dance Festival. Students from the Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts presented the latter half this year. As a key component of Beijing Normal University's International Creative Dance Symposium, the full-length show will be jointly presented by BNU's department of dance and dance students from WAAPA.
7:30 pm, Sept 13-14. Guo'an Theater, 16, Huayuan East Road, Haidian district, Beijing. 010-5728-6313.
