"Windows"
a new original ballet by
Second Life Ballet
Windows are openings that allow us to see a glimpse of a person's life; to be a bit of a voyeur for a moment in time.
"Windows" allow us to look into a person; their heart and soul, dreams and hopes, failures and disappointments.
In the first act we see a shadow of a mature woman, alone with only her thoughts of past love and lost dreams -- one of many in the city. In the second act, we see teenagers flirting and vying for attention and love -- one wins, one loses. And in the third, and old couple, who know each other too well, who try to rediscover their lost love. Do they?
ACT 1 - THE CITY
Jane is in her 40s and lives in a apartment in the 1950's. She comes home exhausted and undresses while thinking. What does she have? She performs a sexy dance for an imaginary man in a chair. She tries on different looks and poses. Then she cries in the chair and cries to the heavens. Has she loved?
ACT 2 - THE DINER
Two teenage girls and one teenage boy are dancing. The First Girl dances for the Boy, then the Second Girl dances. Each girl dances for the Boy, each girl vying for attention and love. Who is the victor in love?
ACT 3 -
Scene 1 - The Apartment Scene 2 - The Park
An old couple are in their apartment together, but in different worlds. The Old Man is drawn to his wife, but the Old Woman knits and sees nothing. He remembers when they were young and in love. Do they rediscover their love?
Come. Let's look through some windows...
