The Rite of Spring: the Bride Unseen
Richard Dickinson is renowned for his talent in taking well known classical pieces of music and turning them into masterpieces of dance. His new work, The Rite of Spring: The Bride Unseen is the story of the strength of family ties as a young woman must surrender to an arranged marriage to please her family. There will be loss but you must decide who that is.
