“Igor Stravinsky’s” Rite of Spring “with a difference: ballet director Tarek Assam and the Mexican video artist Ana Baer have created for the work a video installation: A barren nature landscape with bare trees and dark crows, river water, eerily beautiful music.

(…) Seven film stories are superimposed here, a challenge for the makers of the installation.” Charlotte Annika Wagner / Giessen Allgemeine Zeitun
