Rite of Spring (2003) Concept, Choreography, Set and Costume Design: Shen Wei Musical Score: Le Sacre Du Printemps by Igor Stravinsky Musical Recording: Fazil Say Four-hand Piano Version Original Lighting Design: David Ferri “When I first heard Stravinsky’s Rite of Spring in China in 1989, I was enthralled by the score’s rich, evocative texture. Over the next twelve years, I continued to develop a creative interest in the piece, finally beginning in-depth research on the music in early 2001. The Stravinsky score is constructed with both technical complexity and narrative passion. After listening closely to the score, I identified several body systems and movement ideas that matched the quality found in the music." — Shen Wei
