The Rite Of Spring
Studio Theatre, Hong Kong Cultural Centre

Presented & Produced by Zuni Icosahedron
The Self and The Other Series #3
The origin of dance is sacrificial rituals. In order to communicate with the spirit for blessing and guidance, ancient tribes would put the body into a state of trance by various means. Is creating dance with the body as a tool a kind of sacrificial rite ? Is the spirit of inspiration somehow related to the spirit of deity ? What kind of spiritual state is it in the going back and forth of sense and sensibility in judgement during rehearsal ? In the creative development of The Rite of Spring, I could not feel the presence of any deity. All I could see and feel throughout the entire process was me, myself.
