Tales absurd... | HORECNA

TALES ABSURD, FATALISTIC VISIONS PREDOMINATE

"In my ballet, I look inside the mind of a person who chooses to see all the events happening in his personal life and journeys on the dark side.
His unconscious decision brings him into situations where his fears block him in making the choices that could free him towards the light.
The fatalistic visions strongly predominate all of his activities, so the abilities to see every day in a positive way are strongly pushed out of his life.
The moment he is given the knowledge and starts to be aware of this, will he have enough strength to face up to his actions and break away from his own self destructive pattern ?
Sometimes, the choices also turn into routines. We all struggle with those one way or another.
The idea that life could be a state of survival instead of a journey with all its colors not only black, is as absurd to me as all of those tales of that unconsciously created negativity.
Again, it twill return back to the ideology I strongly believe in. Life is a gift and the journey towards our hearts is the most difficult one.
But if we reach that place some day, will we finally understand and smile into that light ?
Because if we don’t, wouldn’t it mean ending our lives or literally killing our own sleves into darkness?
What does the mind say ? And what does the heart say ? Is : « I want to be happy » not the fundament to all we strive for in our lives ? »
