2 artists from England gave us a location (Graslei, Gent) and an mp3 that we had to start playing at exactly 8PM. When we got there the place was crawling with people in pairs who had on some form of mp3 headphone. We started getting nervous because the mood was so exciting and strange. Like we were people who all had a role to play in the documentary of life and still didn't know what was going to happen. All was in remembrance of their friend who passed away.
We had to walk, sit, look, take in the moment, imagine things, run to each other and leave each other, think about certain things and laugh. In the end the whole place was loaded with dancing couples. Man vs man, woman vs woman, friends and lovers. It was a beautiful sight. Seeing people run towards one and another. And knowing your friend will soon be running towards you. The positive answers that are written in people's faces when they were just asked if they trust their friend.
I needed this. To really look at things and take the time for a moment that could actually be the last one. And for once, in that moment, finding that it's a beautiful moment. In staid of the usual not caring anymore. In staid of the always being on your own.
