Pascal ode de Lavelinge

 A Commentary on the World

 by Pascal Theodore Furst

 Pascal begins with his standard warm up before launching into his incredible dance performance.

In this scene the dancer begins with the discovery of this great icon for his and all of our lives. 

Upon reaching his discovery he can hold back no longer and must reach for this symbol of the universe and cycle of life it holds. 

Having made peace with his maker, his surroundings and his place in life, our hero bows to the power and awesomeness the universe holds.

In his final scene, Pascal, having meditated on the completeness of his being and discovering his belongingness, pleads with the audience to join him on his metaphysical journey.

After the show we were able to sit down with the famous dancer and discuss his career and his lastest masterpiece.

"As a youth I spent most of my time drinking too much, throwing up and waking up behind bars. But when I discovered interpretive dance, my life turned around. Dancing really saved me."

We asked him to describe his inspiration for "Pascal's ode de Lavelinge: A Commentary on the World" and here is what he had to tell us.
"On my latest trip to visit the Dalai Llama, we spent some time in a small village where we saw women washing clothes in the river. It struck me how the simplicity of their lives intertwined with cycle of the water becoming dirty, then clean and dirty again -- it really struck a chord in my soul. There is something about laundry that brings the universe into perspective for all of us. Don't you agree?"

One of the prominent New York dance critics, Louis Ermete has one word to describe his experience: "WOW!"

"I'm sorry I couldn't keep a straight face for that long. The real word I have for this crap is:

"PPPPPPFFFFFFFTTTTTTTT!"

It skips a generation... Right?

The boys have breakfast every morning. Lina tries, and does a good job at, feeding the boys heathy foods. The right grains and dairy for their growing little bodies.
However, Louis has a tendency to thwart her good intentions. Seen here sucking the butter off the waffle and then tossing the rest on the floor, Louis takes after his grandparents Abba and Nonna in his penchant for straight butter.
If only he took more after me, the model of healthy eating. *wink*

Big Smiles

I'm headed off to Alaska for five days and I am going to miss these smiles so much. I get teary-eyed just thinking about it.
