Le Sacre du Printemps a quartre mains

Take a retrospective look at the 2012 World Premiere of Le Sacre du Printemps via YouTube. This recorded live performance at the Kennedy Center Terrace Theater, features eight BMDC dancers, choreographed by Lucy Bowen McCauley in her signature style of musicality and athleticism. This fresh interpretation of Sacre—long considered the staple of modern dance — is angular and abstract with a score full of harmonic dissonance and syncopated rhythms.

The evening will begin with a live pre-show discussion with Lucy Bowen McCauley, principal dancers, Alicia Curtis and Dustin Kimball, along with one other original cast member, Alvaro Palau.
