The vision of acclaimed New York-based choreographer Stephen Petronio, who injects his signature style of fast, daring movement into this Sydney Dance Company’s work he created.

01:16Our bodies melt together
01:25Post-crucifixion, baby
01:32Post-crucifixion, all I've done
01:35It's a wild world
01:41It's a wild world
01:45It's a wild world
01:49It's a wild world
01:53It's a wild world to be sure
01:58Church bells ring out
02:04The toll of our night
02:08Forward and forever backward
02:11Forever backward, forever forward
02:13All right
02:15Strofe and antistrofe
02:18Strofe and antistrofe
02:19Hey, antistrofe
02:21Antistrofe
02:23Come on baby, miss me tonight
02:25It's a wild world
02:27It's a wild world
02:29Up here in your arms tonight
02:31It's a wild world
02:35It's a wild world
02:37It's a wild world
02:39It's a wild world
02:41It's a wild world

03:05It's a wild world
03:07It's a wild world
03:09And no one saw the carnival
03:35The weeks flew by
03:37Till they moved on the shore
03:41Leaving his caravan behind
03:45It was parked out on the southeast ridge
03:49And as the company crossed the bridge
03:53With the first rain fill in the bone-dry riverbed
03:57It shone just so upon the edge
04:01Away, away
04:05We're sad to say
04:09We're sad to say
04:13We're sad to say
04:17We're sad to say
04:19We're sad to say
04:29We're sad to say
09:47I'm spoiling all the fun with all this truth and consequence
09:52An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth
09:55And in a way I've told the truth
09:58And I'm not afraid to die
10:17I'm not afraid to die
10:47When you're sad and when you're lonely
10:52And you haven't got a friend
10:55Just remember that death is not the end
11:02And all that you held sacred
11:08Falls down and does not mend
11:11Just remember that death is not the end
11:17Not the end
11:21Not the end
11:25Just remember that death is not the end
11:32And all your dreams have vanished
11:38And you don't know what's up the bend
11:41Just remember that death is not the end
11:47Just remember that death is not the end
11:55And you don't know what's up the end
11:56Jennifer
11:57But she does not say that death is not the end
11:58To myself
