A tale about growing pains, a catharsis triggered by letting go of the past. The multiplicities of time, represented by grains of sand, are meticulously arranged to spell out an internalized narrative of loss.
In contrast, this ecstatic dance symbolizes a breakthrough from the neural networks of generational trauma.
The tension of avoiding certain topics is synonymous with the way the dancers’ footsteps avoid scattering the sand at the start of the clip. A sudden fall forward into confrontation is seen as the path toward internal liberation and joy.
