странный клип

A handmade collage of a performer inside an ornate frame.

Unofficial music video 2023

Runtime: 3 minutes

This music video is a portrait of people who hear, feel, and move through the world in their own unique ways. Each character inhabits a distinct emotional and physical landscape, using dance to tell their own strange and personal story.

Two performers holding an ornate frame in a surreal collage.

Though different, they are connected by music, shared values, and a deep emotional undercurrent. Through improvisation and individually expressive movement, the work celebrates the beauty of individuality and the quiet magic of human connection.

The central theme is about finding kinship in a disconnected world: the main characters sense that they are alone, yet they fail to notice how many others are moving beside them, speaking in the same (even if strange) language.
