Because I'm a Democrat. I can't wait for Obama to win the election so that we can promptly surrender to the terrorists.

BTW, I'm currently watching your Stravinsky video. God that's such good music.

Some of the story of the choreography can be found by Google. Looks like this performance was in the 2001/2002 time frame and the clip ends before one of the dancers is stripped completely naked.

Quotes from the choreographer, Angelin Preljocaj, from the web site for his ballet company, Ballet Preljocaj.
“ Whenever I listen to Igor Stravinsky's "Rite of Spring" - veritable ground-swell of music of the 20th century - what I feel transpires through this work is as much a matter of fascination as of a feeling of ancestral terror.
This music unceasingly carries along with it a slowly rising force of desire, and at the same time, a kind of controlled panic.
A blend of madness at the thought of perpetrating an act literally dictated by the very molecules of our being and at the same time of jubilation stimulated by our senses ? a leap forward imbued here with the power of an irremediable force.
When faced with this ancestral mechanism, the bodies of the dancers, drunk with exhaustion, have no choice but to participate in this ritual.
Bringing the clan together around an impulse that is, in the end, biological, the Rite of Spring reminds us that as long as men and women continue in their spiritual, cultural or intellectual quest, they will unceasingly and inevitably stumble against this weakness.
As Pascal Quignard says in "sex and fright":
"we carry with us the mental disarray of our own conception.
There is no image that shocks us more than that of reminding us of the gestures of our very inception”

By the way, is it just me or doesn't rite of spring remind you of that song from Halo 1 every time you encounter the floods?

Anyone geeky enough to know what I'm talking about here?
