Part II

The Masque, Level 8

“The Masque” was created shortly before this performance, and it is dedicated to those of us who have lost a friend or family member. The Masque is to share and unite our thoughts in those moments which everybody has to face.

As dancers, we share our emotions and our thoughts and our souls. We speak without the words, we smile without a smile, and we cry if we feel that this is what we need.
