Joffrey Ballet Rite of Spring 1987 (2 of 3) with NO COMMERCIALS

These people were the first to perform this original Nijinsky ballet, known as Le Sacre du Printemps, after its being lost for 70 years. Some of it was found in the margins of the score, on scraps, through the memories of the few living ballerinas. Hodson and Archer pieced it together and had to fly blind in places but by God&good grace, when Nijinsky&assistant Marie Rambert died, the notes for the ballet were found: and confirmed the work.. Nothing like this has ever or will ever exist again. BECAUSE OF THE DATE OF UPLOAD 10 minute uploads were all that was allowed. So there are 3 pieces 20 years later there are 2 HD performances of the Mariinsky on Youtube and on my channel...but they are going through the motions. They have seen the Joffrey and pieces of other companies and so Actually I can&blame them - they perform this monster once weekly but the soul is dim. EACH dancer in the 1987 Joffrey had to pull from something dark and personal to make this shock of art come alive because THEY had no video! And it BECAME THE YARDSTICK BY WHICH SACRE IS MEASURED. I know this from speaking with the dancers. The RIte of Spring was frightening...this part of Nijinsky&ballet will have you looking under the bed for monsters. They are only ghosts of the dancers who were boo&from the stage in 1913.
