THE OPEN FLAME

The fire’s magnetism goes through the whole ballet. No one can move away from its power. It permeates viewer’s gaze from the moment that the curtain goes up. It burns on it’s veins scene after scene. It encourages its players passion. As the one that Nikiya and Solor overgrow right now around its hypnotic presence releasing love vows. May its flame never extinguish! May it always be live! (Act I, scene I)
