Rite of Spring

Rite of Spring is a theatrical happening balanced between a performance and a choreography about peer pressure, hormones and the fear of beauty.

The earth is still in deep hibernation as eight young women gather to celebrate spring. They worship nature with their fertility rites. They dance and seduce. But then secrets and primal forces break loose. A sacrifice must be made.

Rite of Spring is about peer pressure, hormones and the fear of beauty. A modern coming of age story mixed with prehistoric pagan spring rituals. The threat of natural forces, the struggle with oneself and the desire to break free turn these young women into charming monsters. Close to the heart theater, figuratively and literally, because the audience sits around the performance area.

In 2016 Rite of Spring, the remake, was created in Durban. In 2017 the remake, with half the cast South African and the other half Dutch, was performed in Capetown, South Africa and on international festival Oerol, Terschelling (NL).
