SECOND SPRING

Act II re-frames the narrative in a broader perspective: not the stories of particular individuals over the course of a lifetime, but an archetypal story of human love as it plays out in every cycle of seasons beneath the stars. The action shifts from the singers of Act I to six dancers in three pairs, each pair moving toward one another slowly and inexorably, each meeting a different fate. In the end, an ethereal calm and final farewell to all things human.
