DESCRIPTION:
This sensational spectacle event is a unique collaboration lead by Ériu Dance Company in association with Fidget Feet Aerial Dance Company. Rite of Spring is about a dancer who makes the ultimate sacrifice for his work and was first performed in Paris almost 100 years ago. This ambitious reworking of Stravinsky's Rite of Spring is also inspired by the French tradition of Son et Lumière, specifically that which took place at the Cathedrale de Reims in 2011. This spectacle event immediately follows the Good Works performance. It is supported by The Department of Tourism Culture & Arts percent for Art Scheme, and is especially commissioned by Cavan County Council Arts Office as part of the Dance Artist in Residence Scheme for the Fleadh Cheoil 2012.
