“the falling” truly captivated me. The show started with three women and three men, looking confused and stumbling while walking on the continuously rotating stage. As I started to watch and observe what’s going on, I understood that the stage represents the ongoing life, and the people at the beginning are actually all of us, trying to understand how the world works. Once they accept the conditioning, that they had to get ahead of others, they run, they push others, but life is going on, they hug, they talk and they walk. They find someone, fall in love, but it is the wrong one; they find someone else. They walk everywhere but reaching nowhere, and finally, they fall. However, the stage keeps rotating. Because life is going on. greetings from turkey
Which shows how perfectly this piece worked. From France to Turkey, Korea, the UK and more, we all saw, understood and FELT the story being told. (The song may have helped but I think you could play this without any music and the story is still clear.) That is the measure of all art. Art can be beautiful, bright, loud, even ugly, dull or quiet but still fail to be great. But when it leaves you clutching at your chest because it drives an ephemeral dagger into your heart, or it makes you laugh out loud, even hours later, even if it leaves creeping terror in the back of your mind, which keeps you awake at night, THAT is what makes GREAT art. Great art leaves its imprint on our souls.
It is 4am. I was just about to go to aleep but I found this video and now I am crying and smiling so much. I am in awe at how subversive, yet simple, humble and universal this piece is. Beautiful.
Came here due to a link in Tom Scott's newsletter today -- he said if there was only one link to follow, this was it, and WOW was he right!! Mesmerising!
I´ve watched it tonight live in Lisbon and now i cannot stop watching this sequence on youtube, to keep the feeling alive. After 5 minutes of its start, i was already crying, filled with joy. I´ve never seen something like this before. This captures the essence of life, what in my opinion is, what we call balance or equilibrium, and how difficult it is to maintain it. And the duplicity of how you must work and relate with the other to get to that place, but at the same time how you stay by yourself in the end, until you fall. Uau!
I watched it live last night and I'm here for the same reason. I can't stop watching and feeling mesmerized about how beautiful and full of meaning it is. It's a true work of art. Very touching. I was at a loss for words by the end of this act and I just couldn't get myself back together after the end of the show, I just wanted it to keep on going on forever. I'm a happier person today. Thanks to them.
I work with highly technical people - almost everybody loves this work and relates it to some favorite science principles or paradox. Well done! Your observation position determines a lot about what you see.
I would love to see that from the point of view of a camera fixed to the platform, such that the floor remained still in-frame. I think that would make the leaning elements of the routine more striking.
Wonderful piece, I can't help but wonder, as this is 5 years on now, if there is a significant spike in viewership and if the channel knows that its due to Tom Scott's newsletter
Da brividi!Mi ha commossa molto e per questo non trovo le parole!E' la nostra vita ,cadiamo, ci rialziamo, ci innamoriamo, ricadiamo, ci rialziamo ma alla fine cadiamo tutti nonostante i nostri sforzi!
Каждый летел по своей орбите, и как тревожно и приятно когда попадаешь в орбиту другого человека... Лететь вместе - что может быть надёжнее? Но когда приходит время уходить - разруха, хаос...остаётся только упасть поодиночке. Умная, философская постановка!!! Мне очень понравилась!
EXCELLENTE DESCRIPTION ANALYSE CORPORELLE BRAVO VOUS ÊTES TRES PERSPICACE & JUDICIEUX.....VOUS AVEZ L'OEIL........je vous reçois 5/5 étant sur ORBITE.............OUI MA VIE C'est un MANEGE.......eh DIEU que ce MANEGE TOURNE BIEN........ MILLE CONGRATULATIONS POUR CETTE VIDEO/SPECTACLE
That's it! That's it. We are seeing a new master in our generation! The Perfect, Perfect performers with the perfect Music and Voice! Of course, not to mention the choreographer!
Here we are, two years later, and I'm still devastated every time I watch this. Essential, profoundly simple and astonishing in its rhythmic, hypnotic beauty
Une petite séance de rattrapage pour celles et ceux qui n'ont pas encore eu l'immense plaisir de voir ce spectacle magnifique. Voici une scène qui m'émeut aux larmes à chaque fois que je la voie et m'extrait pour quelques instants de la fureur du monde
LIFE... On an ever-spinning globe, Round and round Never-ending Humanity goes... We run, we walk We hug and talk We push others away We get ahead Going everywhere Yet reaching nowhere We all fall down The end...
This is one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen. It makes me weep each time I watch it. And the detail of the performances, every connection, every touch, every second of eye contact, just WOW! So envious of the dancers who got to work on this incredible piece! Thank you Yoann, you're a genius.
My fav song. My way. When they are swirling around, skirts flipping , hair floating , it seems so free yet so confined , so much in control yet not their own control. Just like the life we live, running keep running till exhaustion to the end.
This is so applicable to my life as I age and, I HAVE BEEN aging for a long time. This is an excellently done presentation especially with Frank's great song.
The most beautiful and exacting art form that expresses all the stages we go through in life. Spellbinding!!! The song itself....is a paradox of how similar we are although we think we are doing it all "my way". The end! Brilliant, moving. Thank you, Joann Bourgeois!!
@@silverhopeful If that's the case, why is there only one person left? Is that supposed to be the eternality of the human spirit? Why is there only one person left?
@@ElectricSheep2199 because she outlived all her friends. The spinning stage is life. Their movements symbolize being young, fighting to get ahead, finding someone, growing old with them, etc. Then one by one they die. She outlives them and runs alone a little while. Eventually she joins them and the stage keeps spinning. They're all dead but life as a whole keeps going. Something like that
This video hit me SO DEEPLY! As I see it...it's all about LIFE! The words to the music goes so well with the characters.... confused and stumbling in the beginning as we are told we have to succeed by being something we are not. Then as we accept that conditioning, we have to get ahead of the "others"..... like there is something to "get". Then looking to the relationship to maybe find the happiness, OH and then that one wasn't it so we go to the next one.... only to find out it was always within us the whole time! BEFORE the conditioning/confusion started. Then in the end, we all die! Or the body dies so we all end up in the exact same place. BEAUTIFULLY DONE! WOW!
Supremely beautiful, triumphant, and moving. I'm not sure how to articulate what it is I love so much about this piece. It might be its simplicity; how pedestrian and easy the vocabulary of movement is. The spinning stage is such a simple and yet profound transformation of a typical performance space, one where the dance no longer primarily consists of dancers generating movement and force, but of movement and force acting upon the dancers. And to top it all off, Frank Sinatra's "My Way." Sublime!
my friend, all you have written is so true, but simpler, to me, what I see is a beautiful description of love. how everyone cannot escape from it, no matter how you try, how beautiful it is to do what you can, to accept limitations.
So much stress in the end of the video, i just know about Yoann Bourgeois and he so talent and smart, such a beautiful art he made. Thank you so much for this creative art.
Many thanks to @TomScott for pointing me this way! What a captivating piece. The amount of practice and skill to coordinate their movements in a rotating reference is astounding.
That is such an incredibly special dance! Nothing ever like it... The movement of the stage made the dancers seem insignificant and like angels all the same. I am no dancer and have difficulty appreciating all types of dance performance. I do try! Have seen some dance I enjoy, and any happy movement makes me glad... This is different! I moved with them, could feel the floor and the motion, the physical forces creating balance... I might not keep on my feet, but man O man, would I just love to try that! Bravo!!
Hermosa puesta en escena sobre la vida, la muerte, las relaciones interpersonales, el amor...la complejidad de las relaciones humanas y sus sentimientos tan opuestos viviendo al tiempo en un mismo individuo. Wooowww;,gracias!
Bello. Raffinato, delicato, creativo. La rappresentazione di stadi e stati della vita inun mondo che gira vorticosamente, senza curarsi di alcuno. Grande rappresentazione.

I think you nailed it.
The one who falls. And yet WE all fall. We are all that one. I can't stop watching it either.
It made me dizzy. Life makes me dizzy too. 😵

I thought Tom said to not to mention him under the videos he recommended.
I just found this from a random Reddit link, 1+ year after you made this comment
wait he has a newsnletter? what?
@@gracchen2500 yeah, it's great, he sends it out once a week.
This is awesome, thanks Tom for sharing!
Well I see I’m not the only one crying 😭 ❤
I think I have watched this like 100 times.
Estoy tan emocionada de tener acceso a este tipo de arte. Lo veo, lo siento, lo vivo. Esto es poderoso y sublime a la vez.
Bravo

That is as beautiful as it is brutal. I haven't teared up to something like this for years.
So nicely said...and felt.
This brought me to tears. Wonderfully chaotic.

Comme toi ... Un spectacle sublime ...
One of the best master pieces of the 21st century.
Moving, skillful and tragic. You did it your way. Beautiful.
LIFE...
On an ever-spinning globe,
Round and round
Never-ending
Humanity goes...
We run, we walk
We hug and talk
We push others away
We get ahead
Going everywhere
Yet reaching nowhere
We all fall down
The end...
Very well expressed.
and globe will still spinning

I have been watching this over and over again since I came a cross a few days ago. Simply amazing! This is life!
I think about this all the time
Life goes on and humanity falls into the maze it lives

another breathtaking piece by YB, never seizes to awe!!!
Wow!! Breathtaking!

Amazing, simply beautiful. The symbology, the dedication and talent of the dancers, I LOVE this!
Entrare nel mondo fantastico di Joann Bourgeois è bellissimo.
I thought it was some goofy thing at first. I loved it all the way through.
오래된 작품이었군요
한국 내한해주셔서 감사합니다 오늘 관람하고 왔는데 거의 마지막부분에서 눈물이 났어요 ㅠㅠ 감동입니다

About living and surviving... I don't have words to express how amazing this performace is.
This was so profound. I don't have any clue _what_ exactly it means, but it's profound.
Its about all the stages of life from birth, childhood, attraction and then commitment to love, having children and the end. No watch it again!

I think it is about how we meet our lovers and sometimes we lose them along the way, basically the author is showing a glimpse about our lives
What a load of bollocks!

Que coisa linda! Que contundente materialização de um "sentimento de mundo"! Merci mille fois!
Pois e. Tao linda !! Expressao dos corpos, expressoes da vida....Beijos da França
What a fantastic piece!
I wept after watching this. Thank you.
I dont understand the language but this was outstanding. If I name it it was just be called Life. Or This world. Bravo!!!!
So truthful and honest.
I am speechless. This is a beautiful piece, artfully imagined, and flawless in execution.
it's brilliant! love it!
Late to the party, but this is moving and more relevant than ever.
Wow, amazing, brilliant, Im crying 🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤OMG
정말 걸작이네요.
