Danse Macabre

No ordinary dancing couple, they are graveyard ghosts. The ill-fated lovers' creepy skeletons rise from the dead at their gravesite to dance to the Goth violin player's music. They morph back into the beautiful young lovers they once were when alive. Their tragic end is a story to be told. But does anyone still remember what it was that led to their fateful end at the height of their young lives together? Perhaps they emerge from the dead on special occasions such as Halloween, or do they appear to anyone at any time, under the right circumstances? Enchanting and darkly romantic watercolor crystals in purple, blue and pinkish tones envelope them as the music plays. As the violin notes fly out into the air, they morph into black bats. A happy-sad tribute to their fate. According to Merriam-Webster dictionary, Danse Macabre means: "dance of death...In the medieval period, the dance macabre was a literary or pictorial representation of a procession or dance of both living and dead figures expressing the medieval allegorical concept of the all-conquering and equalizing power of death."
