Kill everyone who brings us discord; it is the only way to have quiet. A Rite, which is actually a meta-cognitive lesson questions Stravinksy/Nijinsky's 1913 Rite. In the 21st century, our sacrificial rite is daily —in our schools, in our public spaces, in our streets, in “someone else’s” war...

I’ve been humming bits of Stravinsky’s Rite of Spring ever since my first encounter with it in my impressionable teens. It stuck in my head, along with the Led Zeppelin anthems. So when the lights went up on Bill T.

At the outset of last century, the collision of the creative minds of the composer Igor Stravinsky and the choreographer Vaslav Nijinsky gave birth to what was to become the legendary Le Sacre du Printemps (“The Rite of Spring”).
