A startling new approach to a most familiar ballet seems to have catapulted Chinese-born choreographer Shen Wei to the top of the New York dance scene’s list of up-and-comers. Shen’s interpretation of Stravinsky’s Rite of Spring strips away much of the imagery and symbolism which have been imposed on it ever since it first premiered in Paris. The dance takes place on a geometric floor, and the only colors visible are black, white, and gray. It’s difficult to associate the new visuals with such a familiar work of music, but Anna Kisselgoff calls Shen’s reimagining of the Rite “a stunning and objectivist approach to a score that has been overworked as a Modernist symbol.”
