James Thiérrée


This is officially one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen, not just in dance, but EVER! It means something different to every person I'm sure, but to me it is the endless struggle man has against nature/fate. Be sure to watch it in its entirety there is a lil surprise at the end. I still get chills watching this more matter how many times. Being the grandson of Charlie Chaplin, his works have a spectacular, ethereal feel, like a classier Cirque de Solier
