Choreographer Andrea Schermoly, who created this wintry take on Stravinsky’s modernist classic for Louisville Ballet’s online “Season of Illumination”: “I’d seen a short film … about a stray albino penguin that ad been ousted by its tribe. I remember thinking it was such a strange parallel to Rite, and I liked the starkness of the terrain. … The music is so eerie, huge and violent, and I felt like the tribal sense could still be captured in that icy environment.” – Pointe Magazine
