Witnessing the Thaw
Bodies and Glaciers in Harmony.
In the heart of the Alps, we, the dancers, the creators of dreams, stand witness to a profound transformation – the melting of the glaciers. This is not a requiem, but a celebration of change, a manifesto for a harmonious future. Our bodies, agile and ephemeral, converge in rhythmic communion. With every step, every gesture, we declare our unity with the Earth. We are the guardians of balance, and in our dance, we mirror the delicate equilibrium that sustains us all. We declare that the melting glaciers are not merely a consequence of nature's cycles but a reflection of our shared destiny. As human bodies move in graceful harmony, we acknowledge the momentum of the present. The glaciers, once stoic, now weep, echoing the cries of a planet in distress. This is not a performance; it is bearing witness. We are not distinct from nature; we are one. As our feet touch the Earth and our arms reach for the sky, we articulate our deep-rooted bond with this planet. We declare that the world's wounds are our own, and the healing begins with us.
