Chinese dance legend and renowned choreographer Yang Liping brings her stunning reimagining of Stravinsky’s Rite of Spring to Stanford Live in its U.S premiere. A product of her native Chinese culture intermingled with Tibetan concepts of nature and life, Liping’s Rite of Spring spins an abstract legend of the path of salvation embodied by the sacrificial peacock. Through spectacular set design and exquisite costumes, the production creates a distinctive universe where time, space, and life coexist in endless reincarnation.
