Chamber

“’The Rite of Spring’ is one of the most vibrant musical pieces of all times. Its rhythm and visual richness overflow with tension and excitement, in a journey of subtle mysteries and sudden contrasts. 'Chamber' is an echo of what the ‘Rite of Spring’ provokes in my imagination. With this dance piece, I returned to a choreographic language that is sensitive to silence, to repetition, and to the unique presence of the performers. I envisaged a ritualistic dance, which tries to balance order, chaos, as well as the collective and individual nature of humanity. I seek to give form to the impatient pace of the world, through a primal, almost pagan celebration.”
