classical guitar: Torrin Williams
All you can see
running to the edge of a choreographed circle
expending the energy of youth
to keep up with hands that beat time.
Where breath is arrested, and beyond
lies the incessancy of a Tango
Dancing, without plot or strategy, without intimacy or interaction. The dancer’s steps are led but the camera struggles to follow. In this indistinct, melancholy scene, even the forlorn, plaintive guitar is disjointed and fragmented.
