Description

"This is the tale of a woman who became the Mountain's bride."

A soothing aura, a gentle song, light footsteps padded across the stage floor with the fluttering weight of a feather, the several layers of her Hanbok floated with every twirl, Moving around her like a gentle wind that seemed to keep her feet from touching the ground. Along with the melody, the dancer's movements guided the audience through the story. The simple start, accompanied by the chirps of birds and sounds of nature, introduced a modest character, the lack of complexity in her movements saying she was nothing but a simple woman of a simple life.

"Daughter of shepherds, what the girl lacked in gold and wealth,
she possessed in beauty and compassion."

The song slowed down, reduced to a single instrument focused on drawing out the notes, carefully crafter to show the beauty of the chosen instrument. She as well slowed down, a hand weaving through the silky black hair, placed pauses through the dance had her pose to the audience, expressing the beauty she represented.

"For many she was admired, mortals and gods.
The God who lived in the wintery Mountains was one of them.
Her presence brought Him warmth against the eternal cold from his lands.
Infatuated, He wanted to have the woman to himself and make her his wife."

A shift in Ambiance, both the music and the dancer worked their way to something more dramatic, a presentation that was building up to something. Something that was bound to fall.

"One day the herd had to cross the mountains and the shepherd's daughter
was finally close enough to the God's embrace.
Filled with Excitement and Greed, the god rushed down the Mountain
to meet the woman he had fallen in love with.
but along with him came the Avalanche."

The song died along with its dancer. the woman laid on the ground, no movement, no sound. Dead. For a moment time was stuck in that image. When the first instrument drew its note, from above came a gentle flurry, quietly falling over the dancer's body as the melody drown the audience in its melancholic cry.

"The tears the mighty god shed fell over his beloved like snow.
Guilt he felt for his Greed has led him to destroy the only beauty he had ever known.
In grief, he turned her body into snow to preserve the memory of the one he once loved and
returned to his mountain to never leave again."

The Ghost body was an advantage for her presentation, with a snow cloak she disappeared from the stage, leaving only the white flurry behind.

"The story is told up to this day and some say
if you go to the mountain on a snowy day.
you might be able to see the spirit of the beautiful woman dancing in the snow
the Mountain's beloved and untouched wife."

And the same way she left the stage, the ghost reappeared between the dancing snow to close her number. Smilling at the people who took their time of the day to watch her and the man who spied her act from behind the curtains.
