Martha Graham: The Rite of Spring, beauty and mystery three decades after its Spanish premiere in Granada
The stage of the Generalife Theatre will become impregnated with the beauty and mystery of Martha Graham’s The Rite of Spring, three decades after its Spanish premiere at the Granada Festival. The company of the so called “mother” of North America’s modern dance, is one of the most important companies around the world, and this iconic creation adds its brilliance to Igor Stravinsky’s stunning composition. Also included in the programme is the dazzling Diversion of Angels, with music by Norman Dello Joio, whose purpose, according to Graham, was “to highlight the passion for living, the passion for loving”. The solo Ekstasis, reconstructed from pictures, given that the original –a key piece in her career– had been lost, and Lamentation Variations, homage paid by three contemporary choreographers to the great artist, inspired in her historic Lamentations (1930), will complete the programme. The company continues to invite creators to carry out choreographic variations from the fil of Martha Graham dancing this significant title.
