Igor Stravinsky’s world-renowned masterpiece The Rite of Spring takes on new life in this large-scale interpretation by celebrated Chinese choreographer Yang Liping. On her stage, Eastern philosophy, Buddhist symbolism, and ancient rituals are reawakened in a striking visual and choreographic experience.

This is not a remake, but a fully original work — a reflection on the cycles of life and death, self-sacrifice, and spiritual rebirth. The central figure is not a victim, but a willing mediator between worlds, whose soul is purified through sacrifice and enters a new stage of existence.

The production captivates not only with its philosophical depth, but also with its powerful visual language: the set design by Tim Yip, Oscar winner for Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, merges mandalas, masks, Tibetan rituals, and luminous symbols into a cohesive spiritual space. On stage, sound, movement, and image merge into a unified rhythm - each moment pulsing like the breath of the universe.

Created in collaboration with festivals in London, Beijing, Edinburgh, and Shanghai, this production is already being hailed as the most powerful Chinese reinterpretation of The Rite of Spring, offering a bold new perspective on one of the most radical ballets of the 20th century.
