Overview

"A narrative balletic pas de deux outlines the five stages of grief through the story of a girl who is left by the love of her life. When she experiences this loss, emotions overwhelm her as she uses the medium of dance to convey her heartbreak, her denial of the circumstances, her bargaining to get back what was once hers, her anger over the perceived betrayal, her depression during her darkest moments, and finally her acceptance of everything that is and will be. The story is depicted in a perceived long take, with scenes flowing from one to the next without cuts or breaks." -- Abstract
