Compagnie Heddy Maalem performs "The Rite of Spring (Le Sacre du Printemps)" in the Ted Shawn Theatre at Jacob's Pillow Dance Festival, June 25 - 29, 2008.
Choreographer Heddy Maalem's precise yet unrestrained movement style delivers a new and contemporary interpretation of Stravinsky's timeless score. Created for fourteen dancers from the African continent, including Mali, Benin, Nigeria, and Senegal, with striking imagery from award-winning filmmaker Benoit Dervaux, Maalem's contemporary take on this classic re-imagines the sensual power and celebration of nature's rebirth.
