Joffrey Ballet 1989 Rite of Spring (1 of 3)

Igor Stravinsky and Vaslav Nijinsky collaborated in 1913 on the most shocking, ground breaking music and ballet the world had ever experienced and it may still be the most striking work ever done. Nijinsky's choreography, performed only 8 times in 1913, was nearly lost forever until the Joffrey,in 1989, with great effort and commitment, reconstructed it and performed it for the first time in over 70 years.
