Meryl Tankard's The Oracle

Meryl Tankard, Australia's iconic choreographer, has created The Oracle, a stunning dance solo celebrating the 100th anniversary of Stravinsky's The Rite of Spring, inspired by Nijinsky's traumatic life, and imbued with the spirit of Ingmar Bergman's Virgin Spring. As in Nijinsky's original 1913 choreography to Stravinsky's score, it captures a furious vitality and pagan sensuality re-contextualized for a 21st century audience. And as danced by Paul White, the Baryshnikov of Australia, it is nothing… Show more short of a tour de force, both for himself and Tankard.
