The Rite of Spring Unearthed

Over time, the notions of sacrifice and punishment have been spread by religious and colonial influences, continuing to resonate within today’s competitive and goal-oriented society. Drawing inspiration from the renowned ballet “The Rite of Spring,” Rocío endeavors to evoke and reimagine elements of the piece while being informed by her Latin American heritage. She seeks to offer an alter-Native choreographic outcome, challenging the sacrificial depiction of a female human and deviate from dominant narratives —a prelude to an anti-sacrifice zone.
