In 2014, choreographer Dominique Brun created Sacre #2, based on The Rite of Spring, a major work of the 20th century, choreographed in 1913 by Nijinsky to music by Stravinsky. Dancer, choreographer and writer Enora Rivière experienced it with twenty-nine other dancers. In this book, based on interviews with them, she tells the story of this dance from the inside, from the dancers’ experiences, and their imaginative worlds. A gripping journey into The Sacre and its multiple “motors”.
Enora Rivière is a dancer, a choreographer and a writer, but also a critic, a researcher, and an audio describer. After studying at the University of Paris 8 and with ex.er.c.e at the Montpellier CCN, she has been working as a dancer and a playwright with many artists (G. Jobin, D. Brun, M. Monnier, O. de Soto, D. Wampach, O.Dubois...). She has created hybrid projects (both choreographic and literary) – ob.scène, moteur, and manifestement – which question the act of dancing and writing, and develop the notion of choreographic narrative. Based in Montreal since 2018, Enora has been a PhD student in research and creation at UQAM for 4 years. She created le renoncement à la sauce for 25 dance students, she presented her work at the Offta festival and at the Théâtre de la Chapelle, she also was a critic for Le Devoir and has collaborated with several artists.
