This opera is about a painter, Marcello, a poet, Rodolfo, a philosopher, Colline, and a musician, Schaunard, who live in poverty. Schaunard lands a job and they go to celebrate.

Time passes and Mimi talks to Marcello and Musetta about how Rodolfo's jealousy. Mimi hides as Rodolfo walks in. Rodolfo and Marcello talk and Rodolfo says how he wants to separate from Mimi because she is dying and is getting worse because of their poverty.

Time passes and Mimi is in failing health and Musetta and Marcello go to sell Musetta's earrings for medicine, and Colline pawns his prized overcoat. Mimi dies.

This is a picture of the USS Arizona sinking during the attack on Pearl Harbor.



This picture is of footprints in the Fukushima Daiichi exclusion zone. The mud is drying after the tsunami, leaving behind these foot prints. The mood is definitely somber and broken. this picture reminds me of the Nuclear bombings on japan in WW2, how the shadows of people were burned onto the rocks.

Pina Bausch: Walzer
This 'dance' seems to be about a woman that's frustrated with be scrutinized. She starts going on about what she can do. Just seems to be a piece with a lot of rage and aggression. About how it made me feel... mostly just confused. She's in full rage-quit mode, and the audience is laughing. And this maybe me just not appreciating this 'dance,' but it didn't really seem like a dance to me. I'm not a dance person and just not understand it, but to me, it's not really a dance, but more like a scene from a play. I know someone is going to tell me off about that in someway, but what do you want? It's my opinion.

To make up for my lack of dancing, here's someone who can.
