SHADOWS

SHADOWS
                                                                                                (Picture: Leer.es)

Sometimes SHADOWS make us think.

To illustrate that idea...
Watch the following video
from a TV program called "Britain's Got Talent 2013",
performed by ATTRACTION
(a Shadow Dance Group).

Use this LINK.

***

ATTRACTION are nine shadow dancers from Hungary,
who tell stories through the movement of their bodies.

On the previous video,
They perform an emotional love story,
in which the song and the story goes along with the shadows.

It is amazing how just music and bodies can tell a story
that inspires, moves and touches our hearts.

What do you think about the video?

In my opinion,
Creativity has no limits.
The video is absolutely fantastic!
Great performance...
talented and original!

THE STORY...

The story covers different aspects of human life:
BIRTH,  DEATH,  MARRIAGE  and  LOVE / ROMANCE.
Could you put them in chronological order?
(according to the video) 

1st: _____       2nd: _____       3rd: _____       4th: _____
  
THE MUSIC...

The beautiful song "Read all about it",
by Emeli Sande,
plays the music on that wonderful performance.

Could you put lhe lines from the Chorus of the song
 into the correct order?

a.) read all about it
b.) they can read all about it
c.) I'm not afraid
d.) so put it in all of the papers
e.) I wanna scream till the words dry out
f.) I wanna sing, I wanna shout
