\u2018To me, they are beautiful and magical beings that live imaginary second lives when the work day ends.\u2019 <\/p>\nNatacha Diels<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

In 2018, two Falcon Heavy rockets from SpaceX landed on the first floor at peculiarly the same time. This simultaneity made us forget for a few seconds their original mission and they transformed before our eyes into two graceful dancers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

American composer Natacha Diels is fascinated by construction cranes, a symbol of a city’s economic activity and progress. In her world these cranes molt into living characters capable of performing a choreography in counterpoint to the music. They exchange the hoisting of heavy loads and working against the clock for an elegant dance and the unfolding of a giant butterfly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
