Taking the four last episodes from the legendary Rite of Spring as its frame, Sauvagerie confronts the young dancers’ high level of energy to the merciless and vertiginous rhythms of the music composition.

In this piece the idea of sacrifice is transformed into an offering of the dancers’ extreme physical engagement on stage.

Their primitive energy is unveiled and shaped through an intense and compact choreography in which the group – like an uncompromising mass - executes a physical ritual towards liberation.
