history making scene from Paris 1913 when Igor Stravinsky debuted his work The Rite of Spring, also known as Le Sacre du Printemps with Vaslav Nijinsky's "anti-ballet". Both were 60 years ahead of their time. The "elite" audience caused a riot ruinding the theater and resulting in the deployment of french police, The world of music and ballet was changed forever.
This move is about the sexual affair between Chanel and Stravinsky but this clip is only about the important part of the film: the debut of Le Sacre du Printemps. There are some historical inaccuracies with the choreography all the fault of a real Eve Harrington of a guy named Robert Craft who hovered around Stravinsky in his last years and now goes so far as to list himself as the composer of The Firebird on the TMobile ringtone site...places he thinks no one will know any better. But I do. You're as full of it as me, masquerading as what you're not but you're buying your own myth,fool, Or should I say maestro.
