Xavier LeRoy: Le Sacre du Printemps

Considered an iconoclast in the dance world, this outstanding French choreographer draws on diverse influences from the worlds of science, performance art, and contemporary dance. In his newest work, LeRoy is inspired by the idea of music-making as choreographed spectacle. Using a recording of Stravinsky’s score by the Berlin Philarmonic, he casts the audience in the role of orchestra and himself as conductor, performing his own gestural dance as a means of summoning the music.

Post-performance discussion: Learn more about the artist’s research and a new piece, Anthropomorphic, that he’s developing with MIT scientists and researchers.
