[PierrotTaM]

this huge orgy

[sprite7100]

i'm only watching this stuff because i want to get my music homework done :s

[cosmonoetos]

that was intense

[philosophyheal]

this stuff is creepy 

[Mystep]

Very tricky to dance to those complex time signatures.

[MADMOISELLEAYLINiii]

ohne sinn der tanz

[JT112358]

I cannot say whether this is a masterpiece or not. All I can say is I didn't like it at all! I came here after watching Pina Bausch's choreography and this is at the very least old-fashioned in comparison. This, of course, is natural, but I also found this one lacking in grace and imagination. My personal humble opinion...

[biomecaNICK]

@JT112358 I dont care about the dancing, All I care is about the music.

[drexle2002]

lol

[helenastarr]

Shocking, amazing, genious

[SmianiexD]

i don't understand it. in my eyes and ears this is awful.

i love classic music and i love ballett but this is terrible

[Mystep]

Beyond words.

[Jimbothenoob]

This is nothing like the original choreography. This is terrible! Where are the long robes? The whole thing is too orgiastic and pretentious. Nijinsky > whoever this dork is

[maryALICEcullen4ever]

every time i see this i have to laugh so hard that i can't breath anymore:D

this is not cool or genious but embarrassing !

[Alllycia001]

Wow! This actually pretty cool!

[0GaZmAsK0]

I have to describe this as a test for Esthetics. But Mr. what can I say? It's brilliant !

[FelipPellicer]

Waaaw!!

Amazing coordination!!

[Flaschenmann]

it's quite crazy, but at the same time so impressive. i had to laugh when i saw it the first time ;)

[banginghats2]

Imagine it's 1913, going from Debussy with almost no rhythm, to this, with the most powerful, thrusting and complex rhythms ever written to that date. Shocking. No wonder it caused a riot.

[ABookwormAndProud]

This must've been really awkward in rehersal...

[ajacoub]

Pure art in its magnificent form

[keramarie1]

fukin hell good ballet skills :O wish i was as good as that

[victorsaint2]

I've heard the main dancer's husband was asking for divorce as she is practising every day in their appartment.

[ltgerbilmuffin]

This isn't the Danse Sacrale. It's the Glorification de l'Élue.

[OriginalBasaliskos]

@ltgerbilmuffin That's what it starts out as, but it goes on through Summoning of the Ancients, Ritual of the Ancients, and then the Sacrificial Dance.

[religiousTV]

Absolutely unbelievable.

[Susannekaffeekanne]

:D These eleven cords at the beginning... there is the rumor, that each conductur says "Rim-sky Kor-sa-kow is a son of a bitch" for counting during this passage.

[ltgerbilmuffin]

@Susannekaffeekanne I-gor Stra-vin-sky is a son of a bitch, yes. It would be a little strange to rail against someone who didn't write the piece, no?

[Susannekaffeekanne]

@ltgerbilmuffin I thought, Rimsky Korsakow, because he tought Stravinsky...

[B2OBOUP]

A la base la choré est faite par Diaguilev

[joside22]

... superbe chorégraphie... de qui SVP ?

[lachgummi1990]

fantastic... I admire strawinsky so much!!!

[tobwasted]

¡las chicas son guapísimas!

[Gh35]

I heard this first in Disney´s Fantasia

[davinou26]

@Gh35

Yeah so true :]

[apblonde2010]

@Gh35 I still see the T-Rex and Stegosaurus fighting in my mind. Not a bunch of people dancing around a virginal sacrifice. 19 years of dinosaurs wins in my mind. haha

[Gh35]

@apblonde2010 Dinosaurs are just awesome. Every 5-9 year old knows that pretty good.

But well this video is art, too.

[jeppius]

true art but..it's not supposed that the dancer dies at the end?

[aliasarai]

it's not?

[PrincessAdelight]

Brilliant! True art.

[ladylungs]

Absolutely genious, Nijinsky and Stravinsky...

[BalletMen]

I think this one was by Maurice Béjart...

[dlinediesel]

@ladylungs This doesn't look entirely like the Nijinsky choreography, as much of the movement is more graceful and the solo dancer Bari seems too dramatically connected to the other dancers. Sravinsky's original envisioning, which was used by Nijinsky, was a sacrificial virgin seemingly abandoned by the others around her, left to dance herself into oblivion. Nijinsky's choreography for her was robotic, labored, and a far cry from the performance above which is fluid and widespread

[OriginalBasaliskos]

@ladylungs This particular choreography was done by Béjart...
