A word from the choreographer, Valérie
Miquel<http://www.ugandanationalcontemporaryballet.org/Site/Val%C3%A9rie_Miquel.html>,on Stravinsky’s masterpiece
“I have always wished to create this great work, Rite of Spring, but before now was never able to find the dancers I needed. And now I have found them; the Uganda National Contemporary Ballet<http://www.ugandanationalcontemporaryballet.org/Site/Ballet.html>has what
it takes. Thanks to them we can now present this fantastic piece of music and dance.
“There is no story. For me the music is a celebration of life: life in nature, life of human beings. Spring is the strongest season – the rebirth of nature each year – and is full of strength and energy. Spring is also the season of renewal, where all is new, innocent, and open to everyone. That is why we have among us a little five year-old girl, Martina.
“We are one powerful African dance company, working in fusion with European style.”
“The dancers represent all the powerful animalistic instincts of life, which are in all of us.
Forget about understanding, just feel free and flow with us through this passionate dance.
And celebrate life!
