The Rite of Spring: Village Verein and Fluid Creature Collective at the Alchemical Studios

March 20, 23, 24 at the Alchemical Studios

An engaging and experimental performance of Igor Stravinksy's The Rite of Spring perfomed on the 2023 Spring Equinox. With rehearsals starting at the beginning of the new year, this work was Village Verein's first experiment with choreography as we brought the Rite of life with Fluid Creature Collective. Selling out most of the performances, the Rite was a welcome start to the new season, bringing a fresh perspective to the iconic work. Electrically intimate, the work featured was performed piano four hands by Ethan Osman and Seth Schultheis. Megan McDevitt, Gary McCall, Sadi Weir, and Jess Lemcke of Fluid Creature performed the work, with Lo Poppy of Fluid Creature overseeing creative direction.
