ABOUT THE PERFORMANCE:
Project Zahira | Dance Theater creates socially involved performances with a mission to make the invisible visible and the unspoken talked about. Project Zahira is known for their emotionally raw theatrical dance productions.
In the old ballet Le Sacre du Printemps (1913), a ‘virgin’ must die so that spring can come again. Zahira Mous and Ivana Berkhout explore the barbaric nature of killings of women in their dance theater duet The Rite; a death ritual.
It is an interactive performance, possibly different each time. The Rite starts with the ending: the dance of death. Will you stop it?
In addition to the performance, there will be a short after-talk between the makers and the audience.
