Glimpse into Silas

Description Inspired by the 1861 American novel Silas Marner, by George Eliot. The original dance solo however (entitled simply Silas), is NOT the Silas Marner story, but is powered by similar underlying themes: abandonment by God, religion, and society, rejection of man-made rules of conduct that counter natural human behavior. It expresses the irony of an individual rejected by a societal environment of unquestioning conformity searching for salvation in another human being.

The original choreography was created on Linkin Park's song Session. This piece of NFT art has been created to the song Hypnotize, by the group IamDayLight.
