Description
Apophysis 7X.9
Le Sacre du printemps (en russe, Весна священная), sous-titré Tableaux de la Russie païenne en deux parties, est un ballet composé par Igor Stravinski et chorégraphié originellement par Vaslav Nijinski pour les Ballets russes de Serge de Diaghilev.
Sa création au théâtre des Champs-Élysées à Paris, le 29 mai 1913 a provoqué un véritable scandale. Dans le Sacre, Stravinski approfondit les éléments déjà expérimentés avec ses deux premiers ballets, L'Oiseau de feu et Petrouchka, soit le rythme et l'harmonie. L'un est constitué d'un dynamisme sans précédent, alors que l'autre repose en partie sur l'utilisation d'agrégats sonores. On considère aujourd'hui la partition de Stravinski comme une des œuvres les plus importantes du XXe siècle qui a inspiré de nombreux chorégraphes tels que Maurice Béjart, Pina Bausch, Angelin Preljocaj, Martha Graham, Uwe Scholz ou Emanuel Gat, qui en donneront leurs propres versions.

The Rite of Spring, original French title, Le sacre du printemps (Russian: Весна священная, Vesna svyashchennaya), is a 1913 ballet with music by the Russian composer Igor Stravinsky, original choreography by Vaslav Nijinsky, and original set design and costumes by archaeologist and painter Nicholas Roerich, all under impresario Serge Diaghilev. The music's innovative complex rhythmic structures, timbres, and use of dissonance have made it a seminal 20th century composition.
In 1973, composer and conductor Leonard Bernstein said of one passage, "That page is sixty years old, but it's never been topped for sophisticated handling of primitive rhythms...", and of the work as a whole, "...it's also got the best dissonances anyone ever thought up, and the best asymmetries and polytonalities and polyrhythms and whatever else you care to name."[1]
A performance of the work lasts about 33 minutes.
