In Satie | The Rite Of Spring, is a double-bill production blending music and dance theater. First initiated in 2021, this world premiere at the Shanghai International Dance Center features the collaboration between Chinese classical musicians and Xie Xin Dance Theatre dancers.

In Satie-The Lightness
This segment features re-arranged versions of Satie’s Gymnopédies and Gnossiennes for piano and vibraphone by Fu Yifei. Choreographer Xie Xin seamlessly integrates musicians as part of the dance ensemble.

The Rite of the Spring-The Rising Road
Based on the original two-piano arrangement, Fu Yifei has re-imagined the orchestral percussion for a version featuring two pianists and two percussionists. Since its 1913 debut, Stravinsky’s monumental score has inspired countless dance productions. Now, Xie Xin—already internationally recognized takes on the challenge of creating a fresh and stunning interpretation of La Sacre du Printemps, performed with this unique instrumental ensemble.

This production promises to be truly one-of-a-kind, showcasing innovative artistry in both music and dance.
