Mirage

"Mirage" is a show that depicts a person who has gotten lost in the open desert, with nothing but sand and sun everywhere they look. The opening sets the tone (Isolation), you're lost, you're stranded, there's nowhere to turn. You begin to feel despair as to what to do next.....but then the heat starts affecting you and you start to experience delirium. You begin to hallucinate, and you begin to see the shadows on the grounf begin to dance, you begin to dance with them - thankful that you have found someone in the lonliness of the desert, but it's all an illusion (Shadow Dance). Then, as the sun sets, you start to realize that it was all hallucinations, and you are seeing the gorgeous sunset in the desert, still wondering what to do next as night falls in the desert (Afterglow). The next movement (Sun Mask) explores the idea of hallucinating creatures wearing masks, all sorts of hallucinations, etc. the next morning as you really are losing touch with reality. Finally, you're lost, you're hopeless for any kind of rescue, and as you're pondering your next move, a fierce and violent storm rolls in (Monsoon), and then you succumb to the elements.
