Mozart’s music can be incredibly evocative — especially for this guy, who decided to channel his emotions into a very elaborate interpretive dance set to the musician’s final symphonies.
The video was “inspired by a dear friend,” the dancer explains. “When she was younger and the other girls emulated their favorite Disney princesses, she would dress up like famous classical composers instead (a birthday party of hers was Mozart themed).” And so, one weekend when she was out of town and he was watering her plants, he saw a collection of Mozart’s symphonies on her table — and the idea for this inventive dance popped into his head.
The result is a lovely blend of high-brow and low-brow. Enjoy.
