A rite this spring

Accompanied by the Nouvel Ensemble Moderne (NEM) under the musical direction of Lorraine Vaillancourt, José Navas will perform the role of the Chosen One in the Rite of Spring on 14 June, at 7:30 p.m., at the Salle Claude-Champagne of Université de Montréal. On that occasion, the NEM will hold its 2018 fundraising gala, offering a cocktail reception to its donors following the show. It’s a unique opportunity to relive highlights of the solo show Rites, on tour throughout Quebec and Europe since Danse Danse and Place des Arts copresented its premiere in November 2015.
