So actually, the audience wasn't sophisticated enough.

As the times have passed, "The Rite Of Spring" was played while Dinosaurs were all gone to extinction in Disney's <i><b>Fantasia.</b></i><b></b>

Stravinsky did both “The Rite of Spring” and “Firebird” which also both appear in Fantasia. Kudos to him.

In other words, the 1913 version of "how dare you put politcs into my art!"

One of my favorite scenes from this ballet is (their interpretation is shown at <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8FXA_8LR2IM&t=153">2:33</a>) when the sacrificed girl is chosen, and all the other young women not chosen dance in a rhythmic dance which contorts their bodies in strange ways. It's kinda terrifying honestly.
