Burn
Burn
The sun is our ultimate source of life. It nourishes the planet, enabling growth and harmony, while it simultaneously wields great destructive power with its intense, searing energy. Burn invites us to reflect on the delicate balance between creation and destruction, reminding us of the sun's profound impact on both our world and our souls. The show begins with the sun rising over a calm morning. It quickly transitions to a darker tone as the sun’s wrath comes forth. Movement 2 takes us to a fiery mood with Night on Bald Mountain mashed up with Set Fire To The Rain, inviting a color palette of bright oranges, yellows and reds to the field. Movement 3 brings in the powerful ballad Burn from the musical Hamilton as we shift into a reflective and contemplative mood. The show concludes with Here Comes The Sun on a positive note to celebrate the balance between creation and destruction and the sun's essential role in the cycle of life, beauty, and transformation.
