Rose – The Night Season Monologue 692j60

Rose – The Night Season // Rebecca Lenkiewicz I saw a programme about the ballerina Anna Pavlova. Do you know her? She died. And she was meant to be dancing that night. In Paris. And everyone was there. All the musicians and the audience and everyone. All waiting for her. And then they got told she’d died. And do you know what they did? They did the whole thing… the whole ballet right from the beginning to the end with all the musicians and the dancers and they just shone a light where she was meant to be. They just shone one light and it moved around where she was meant to be dancing. And everyone watched the light and they knew she wasn’t there but she was, you know? And I thought it was the most beautiful way to die in the world.
