Rite Of Spring, a world renowned dance performance from Portugal with music by Stravinsky, will take centre stage during the "Gala Fund Raised Evening" at the Portuguese ambassador's residence by Chao Phraya River on Nov 9 at 8pm.

Presented as part of the "International Dance Festival 2017", the dance show will be staged by Olga Roriz Dance Company, which has been involved with contemporary dance at a national and international level for 20 years.

The company was founded in 1995 by the award-winning Olga Roriz whose dance, theatre and video repertoire is formed by more than 90 works.

All of her works communicate through the use of metaphors and images.

Roriz has created and re-established works for several national and international companies. They were performed in the main European capitals, as well as in the US, Brazil, Japan, Egypt, Cape Verde, Senegal, Macao, Mozambique and South Korea.

Ten talented Thai semi-professional dance students will also have the opportunity to perform with the 12 performers of the foremost dance company. The gala evening aims to fund 20 full-time scholarships for 2018. Tickets cost 5,000 and 10,000 baht including a gala dinner featuring Portuguese-Thai recipes by an international celebrity chef at 7pm and can be purchased from www.ticketmelon.com.
