Then again. Listen to the tone of music, and observe the surroundings - all dark, save for a spotlight focusing on the silken ballerina. See through the beauty and this is what you get. This video; this dance shows more than just an alluring installation. It brings an underlying meaning that is otherwise easily negligible. It challenges you to see past the depthless surface. How often do you care to listen to a swan song and face your emotions.
The silver Swan, who living had no Note,
when Death approached, unlocked her silent throat.
Leaning her breast against the reedy shore,
thus sang her first and last, and sang no more:
"Farewell, all joys! O Death, come close mine eyes!
"More Geese than Swans now live, more Fools than Wise."
-of the Orlando Gibbons madrigal (The Silver Swan)
