Antartica Symphonia
First is Silence….
Such a silence you have never heard before , no idea… Such a silence that nobody could imagine when living in Shanghai, or Paris , either less on Mumbai !!
A DEAFERING SILENCE!!
Then, you begin to live with HIM: you feel your breath , you feel your eyes , you feel your ears !! And you stay such, in front of the ocean, in front of icebergs, of white big mountains, in front of immensity!
And suddenly A SONG …Oh look at the sky !! is this song a flute? piccolo perhaps? … a TERN says our guide ! Yes !! or two terns perhaps … rarely a trio …. Flying “piano “over there or diving “con brio” !
A SQUEAKING there ! really ! Like basses ! … That’ s only our boat sailing through ice pancakes !!
Abruptly “BAOUM” ! big explosion ! like enormous drum ! Look at right , then left ….;OH my God ! An iceberg toppling over !! with an enormous wave around !!….
Quiet comes again !! And now if you hear longer SILENCE , and appreciate it more and more , you win a SOLO piece …. Horn or Oboe ….perhaps French Horn ? I cannot really definite it , but what I know , that once you hear this song , you will never forget ! you can ever recognize it and watch away over the see to find the sprout and try to notice his so majestic queue THE WHALE !! Ooooh !
And to achieve this exceptional symphonia, putting feet on earth , “ allegro con brio” ….. thousand PENGUINS : half TRUMPETS like AÏDA Opening , each of them different tonality, but all singing together, and half members of the audience, clapping with their wings !! again and again …. Infinity curtain calls !
And longer time ahead , even in silence , you can keep in your ears , your eyes , and your heart all those songs and impressions for ever .
