Compagnie Marie Chouinard: The Rite of Spring and Henri Michaux - Mouvements March 20, 2013

The international reputation of the Compagnie Marie Chouinard is the result of twenty-eight years of work by Montreal artist Marie Chouinard. Today, the company is a fixture on the world’s major stages and festivals. Québécois choreographer Marie Chouinard creates dance that is strong yet shaped by irrepressible secrets and unseen dimensions in time. She returns to the Museum of Contemporary Art Stage with her landmark interpretation of The Rite of Spring and newest work, Mouvements. Chouinard’s interpretation of The Rite of Spring is one of the resounding triumphs of contemporary dance, disarmingly unballetic and dauntingly new two decades after its world-acclaimed premiere. Mouvements is inspired by a book of poetry and drawings by the Belgian poet and artist Henri Michaux.
