This isn’t really technically related to the environment (so far as I know). But I think if you watch it, you can definitely infer some tragic, maybe ecological overtones.
The dancers and the music very much touched me. I hope you’ll watch it…the very end is so amazing. The dancers look like they’re reaching for heaven, like tree branches, shaking, waiting for something to save them, but in the end, they just sort of decay away. When I watched it, I was thinking about this clear cut I walked through with a professor once…it was agonizing, it was heartbreaking. This music totally captured the mood I was in while I was standing there. For anyone who’s actually stood in that place, you’ll know exactly how I feel.
It’s this strange mixture of heartbreak and tragedy and just sorrow. And disbelief. It’s heart stopping. I can’t really describe it, but if you know what I mean, you know what I mean.
Let me know what you think.
P.S. Arvo Part is a modern classical music composer. Check him out, he’s amazing.
