Based on Igor Stravinsky’s emblematic work, The Rite of Spring, Sacres charts the territories of ritual, bringing together the perspectives of five contemporary choreographers, Jean-Claude Gallotta, Angelin Preljocaj, Sasha Waltz, David Wampach and Olivier Dubois.
The film follows the artists and performers, exploring the images of the primitive that fuel their creativity, and the manner in which they take ownership of the theme of Ritual, giving it new life. Offsetting shots of rehearsals and public performances against ethnographic archival footage by Jean Rouch, Luc de Heusch and W.F. Murnau, Sacres conducts a fictional and dreamlike reflection on the uneasy borders between ritual and its representations.
