The essay analyses two of the many contemporary re-presentations of The Rite of Spring using the concepts of body-archive and musical gesture developed within the most recent dance studies. The author’s attention is focused, in this context, on two emblematic works: Right by Carlo Massari and The Rite of Spring of One on one by Mara Oscar Cassiani, starting from a guiding question: what makes the Sacre, in the course of a history that has lasted for over a hundred years, so attractive and challenging as to generate uninterrupted remakes, reenactments, remediations, reconstructions, reinventions by choreographers coming from the most disparate backgrounds and the most diverse and distant styles?

The essay analyses two of the many contemporary re-presentations of The Rite of Spring using the concepts of body-archive and musical gesture developed within the most recent dance studies. The author’s attention is focused, in this context, on two emblematic works: Right by Carlo Massari and The Rite of Spring of One on one by Mara Oscar Cassiani, starting from a guiding question: what makes the Sacre, in the course of a history that has lasted for over a hundred years, so attractive and challenging as to generate uninterrupted remakes, reenactments, remediations, reconstructions, reinventions by choreographers coming from the most disparate backgrounds and the most diverse and distant styles?
