A ballet-reflection, a philosophical essay created by neoclassical language. Bizarre lines, interweaving of bodies, everything is continuous and unsteady like the line of human life. This thread, which is spun by moirai, is strong and fragile. It sometimes binds people, sometimes it becomes an insurmountable obstacle on the path to happiness, it can support at one moment, and at the next it can wrap itself around the body and prevent it from moving. But every moment, somewhere in the subconscious, the question sounds: “How do we live and love, knowing that everything will come to an end?”. From this thought that everything has an end, a person nevertheless understands that nothing is eternal and permanent. There is only “here” and “now”, only this can be fully realized and enjoyed.
