Watch these incredible dance tributes to Orlando
The June 12 mass shooting in Orlando, Florida, has inspired countless tributes from Hollywood, Broadway and beyond. But sometimes the best things are said through body language.
Matthew Richardson’s latest short film The Arrow is incredibly fascinating. Featuring two acrobats, a large hoop, and some colored powder, the video tells the story of two men falling in love. The video was made in memory of those lost during last month’s terrorist attack at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando and sends a powerful message: That all love is equal.
The second, equally as beautiful, video focuses on two men coming together in frenzied passion to the tune of X Ambassador’s “Unsteady” before they ambiguously return to their original positions at the conclusion. The clip begins with Hamilton creator and star Lin-Manuel Miranda’s “love is love is love is love…” quote, and concludes with the names of the 49 victims of the Orlando massacre.
“To love is to be brave, for to lose love is the greatest loss a human will ever know,” the creators wrote on the official DanceOn Network’s YouTube page. “To those lost in Orlando and to the loved ones who were left behind, we stand with you in strength and most importantly, in LOVE.”
