Yvonne Rainer RoS Indexical Promo - Dublin Dance Festival 2010

Dublin Dance Festival is proud to present work by legendary choreographer Yvonne Rainer. RoS Indexical invokes the passion and furore that accompanied the notorious premiere of Stravinskys The Rite of Spring in 1913. Audiences were outraged by Stravinskys dissonant score, by the drab tunics worn by the dancers and their percussive, earth-bound movements. Dancing as a quartet of individuals, four remarkable performers take on Rainers mission of achieving a re-vision of this disruptively glorious work.

Yvonne Rainers influence on the international world of dance and film, since her groundbreaking presence in the Judson Dance Theater of the 1960s, is unparalleled. Rainer is currently a Distinguished Professor of Studio Art at the University of California, Irvine.

Were the people yelling actors or was the audience actually outrage? I can't really picture an audience being so furious that they have to run and scream on stage.

@LadyArania I hate to spoil the show...but the angry mob was made up of volunteers from the audience. If you look closely, two of them are wearing costumes similar to those worn in the original Rite of Spring.

@dublindancefest My guesses were right then. Thank you. :)
