Sacre du Printemps

The theme of Le Sacre du Printemps by Igor Stravinsky explores the tension between the individual and society.

In the ballet, a young woman is chosen to sacrifice herself so that the community may survive.

This raises questions that are still important today : people are often expected to conform to the expectations of their family, culture or society, even at the cost of their own identity.

It reminds us that fear, power, and to need to belong continue to shape human behavior.
