Like The Rite of Spring, the two choreographers have conceived the show as a reflection on our times, faced with the challenges of modernity, technology and disconnection from nature. In this work, they bring together past and future, East and West, the intimate and the universal. "This show is an offering of renewal. Like the Chinese New Year, it invites us to reconsider our connection to the world, to rediscover an essential harmony with what surrounds us." - Ke Wen.

The Rite of Spring is a revolutionary musical and choreographic work composed by Igor Stravinsky and premiered in 1913. The piece has become a cornerstone of music and dance history thanks to its artistic audacity and cultural impact. Today, it is revisited on the occasion of the Chinese New Year.
