Should you go?
It should interest you if you like contemporary dance, but it's not a pre-requisite. Give it a try !
Why?
Two interesting modern choregraphies on Strawinsky ballets. Petruschka, a dark rendition of the original ballet, offer some interesting parts, but undercut by some mildly dull parts. Edward Clug’s somber take on The Rite of Spring is more satisfying, with some smart modern choreography in the first part, then some interesting of water to let dancers slip and skid over the scene with millimeter precision. Very well danced, and a good orchestra performance from the Zürich Philarmonia under Domingo Hindoyan.
