About The Rite of Spring – a Ritual for Four Clowns

Red Nose Company: About The Rite of Spring – a Ritual for Four Clowns

This performance is an unusual and surprising show inspired by Stravinsky’s Rite of Spring. The clowns dance their own choreography to music written for them.

This performance is an unusual and surprising show inspired by Stravinsky’s famous Rite of Spring. Four clowns explore this great musical work and its many interpretations. 

They give themselves fully to the task. In the show, the clowns dance their own choreography to music written especially for them. 

The goal is to create a ritual that strengthens the feeling of connection — without sacrificing a young girl ever again. Also no middle aged woman have been harmed in the process. 

The first performance of The Rite of Spring in 1913 caused a scandal. It appeared at a time when the world was heading towards the First World War. 

The Rite of Spring broke many artistic traditions and has influenced Western art perhaps more than any other work.

The performance is full of physical, wordless comedy.
