(Photo is of some of the costumes from the original production of Le Sacre du Printemps aka The Rite of Spring; which (spoiler alert?) ends with a young woman dancing herself to death)

for those interested, here is the full tv movie Riot At The Rite (2005) which is about the production & arguably disastrous opening night of igor stravinsky's The Rite of Spring / Le Sacre du Printemps on may 29th 1913. it contains the full ballet, including the reconstructed original choreography by russian ballet dancer vaslav nijinsky, which had actually been lost for 50 years & only rediscovered and pieced back together in i wanna say the 1980s or so
stravinsky had composed Firebird in 1910 and then Petrushka in 1911, which are 2 very beautiful (and normal-sounding) pieces, & Rite of Spring was such a violent departure with no warning for the highbrow paresian audience who had attended expecting classical ballet that they famously flipped out in their seats. screaming, throwing things, blowing whistles, the guys backstage tried turning the house lights on & off to quell the commotion, it was a mess
Rite of Spring is at its core a piece about human beings in prehistoric russia, their rituals to welcome spring, and human sacrifice to "gods" - the names of which im not familiar with, if any. it's the most important piece of music to me in my life, & in my opinion as audience member observing the art & considering its historical context, there could have been no better reception to Rite of Spring than this riot. as the dancers became the characters of those prehistoric men and woman, in the same way the original audience unintentionally became the characters of those gods - in a position of aloof better-than observers looking in, violent, screaming, and foaming at the mouth for blood. in my humble opinion 111 years after the fact, anyway.
happy spring everybody! 🤓

More Rite of Spring inktobers
I am using stills or screenshots of video as reference for these. I draw in pencil, then ink the picture and use copics, charcoal and screentone. Each picture is 10cmx10cm.
