This video was made by dancers from different continents filming themselves in their confinement with their personal phones and computers. It was made in the first week of April while almost 2 billion people around the globe were unable to move freely due to the restrictions imposed in attempt to prevent the spread of the Corona Virus. I found so much beauty in the need of people to keep on playing music from their balconies or dance together through virtual meeting applications… To simultaneously succumb to and transcend earthly limitations by artistic endeavours. These are stressful times, and maybe it helps to remember that we are all a part of a mutual story. An experience of searching for meaning and control in this storm of a life. We all go through this one way or another. And in that… We are not alone. This is our Odyssey.

Dilapidated, consecrated To the art of singing – Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah the world is spinning under And everybody’s singing to their graves And the world keeps spinning on We’re all racing to a point of no return Keep singing like there’s no tomorrow #StayHome #WithMe #AsafAvidan
