In his reinterpretation of Le Sacre du Printemps, choreographer Odsuren Dagva proposes a contemporary vision of Stravinsky’s ritual, centred on transformation rather than destruction. This version tells the story of an inner fire—an ember’s heart—that sustains life in a frozen world. The figure of the Fire Boy embodies warmth, movement, and hope, awakening humanity through dance. Opposing him stands the Wind Lady, an elemental force of cold and chaos, whose intervention ignites a journey through struggle, loss, and endurance. The ballet unfolds as a passage through elemental trials—wind, water, and cold—where resistance and exhaustion replace violence, and sacrifice becomes an act of choice rather than fate. The final dance is no longer a sentence of death, but a moment of total giving, where love for others transforms brutality into compassion. Through this lens, Le Sacre du Printemps is reimagined as a poetic meditation on resilience and renewal: “when one is willing to burn for the happiness of others, even the harshest forces can change, and life can begin again.”
Le Sacre du Printemps
Initium e finis – Bolero
This version of Bolero, created by Lienz Chang, former principal dancer and ballet master at the Opéra de Bordeaux, and transmitted to ProsArt Ballet, offers a personal interpretation of the work.
Performed with energy and freshness by the dancers of the young ProsArt Ballet company, it brings renewed vitality to this universal music.
