After the success of the solo Annika does Swanlake, Annika Tudeer, the artistic director and performer in Oblivia is making a solo based on Sacre du Printemps, the Rite of Spring Nijinskys ballet to Stravinskys music. The scandalous ballet with the famous uproar during the premier in 1913 has since then been re-made in a variety of interpretentions
”It is like having porridge in the morning. At some point you just have to do it. Choreographers do their rite of passage by adding their version of Sacre to the list. We have: Pinas, Maurices, Angelics, Rogers, Teros, She she pops Rite of Spring…etc, now it is time for Annikas Sacre”.
Annikas Sacre was premiered 10.12 2015 at the national theatre, the Swedish Theatre, Svenska teatern in Helsinki. It is a story about the wonderful and horrific 20th century, and intertwined is also a strong autobiographical strand.
