about

This is the final movement (three of three) for an unwritten imaginary puppet ballet. The first movement is probably called I Went Up The Mountain, the second movement is likely I Was On Top Of The Mountain and the final section is, quite sensibly, called I Came Down From The Mountain.

In this movement the ballet’s protagonist returns from the mountain. He or she is very tired. The climb has been long. The day has been long. Something happened up there. He or she tries to explain what sort of a day they’ve had to the friend who has been waiting at the foot of the mountain. Being out of breath they attempt to mime their experiences. The friend mostly looks on blankly. There is a rook in a nearby tree watching. It comments on the situation. A cold wind blows. The friend nods their head as if understanding. Finally our hero goes home alone, brushes his or her little wooden teeth, goes to bed and falls asleep almost immediately.

(The fourth movement, which details what our hero dreams, is to be imagined by the audience member on the way home, preferably on foot, but possibly on the train.)
