The Rite of Spring

Stravinsky's famous ballet, The Rite of Spring, depicts ancient Russia and their rituals for the coming of spring. The ballet culminates in a sacrificial dance, where a chosen maiden dances herself to death. Using a filet crochet pattern from Wolf & Dupreyon’s Le Filet Ancien au Point de Reprise III, this chart depicts the sacrificial maiden mid-dance.
