Medicine - Mather Dance Company

I have seen this a million times and come back to it sometimes. The first time I heard this song was watching this vid. The music and choreography and the emotion just captivated me and I cried. My interpretation, is less obvious...I see it as two parts of the same person...not exactly bad or good as much as your past self and your current self (or your current self and your future self depending on your point of view) and how they both make up who you are...to not fight either...just let yourself be both. No matter your interpretation, it is beautiful.

seriously one of my favorite duets of all time

this is too incredible for words

And the comments is why I love dance. it's open to different interpretations and can mean different things to different people.

at the end you don't know to cry or clap, that is a true piece of art that told a beautiful story. well done

This is too beautiful for words :)

This Dance is the best!

This is the most beautiful dance I have ever seen

This is stunning! No words to describe this dance. MDC has the best duets any studio could ever have! Amazing :) 

Oh my god. Flawless. I'm crying.

This is so pure

It seems like it's one person fighting himself/herself..the way they were always connected throughout every transition makes it seem that way. Beautiful piece.

This is one of the best dances i have EVER seen. I watch it on repeat. love love love it!

Easily my favorite dance on YouTube.

they dance absolutely amazing together, beautiful meaning and gave me chills!

Just parousing the comments and I thought I'd throw my interpretation in the ring..  I saw it not as two beings, one being an addict and the other being the one trying to help, but rather as a battle between the light and dark parts of your mind. Both dancers make up two parts of a struggle inside one addict. The dancer in black represented the part of the addict that is hooked, always going back to the drug - just based on a move in the beginning of the dance in which the dancer in black extended her arm and rolled up her sleeve, I took to be heroine, but that might not be defined. The dancer in white is the part of the brain that tries to get off the drug and tries to get you to listen to the people trying to help, the part of the brain that wants to quit. The two sides are battling it out, like often happens in a drug addict, until the end the dancer in white, or the part of the brain that has hope or attempts to quit, gives up. The dancer in black, which now in a way represents the entire addicted brain, has realized they've hit rock bottom, and is reaching out for some hope, but there is none. Hence the reason the white pushes her away, and the black is left crawling away and curling up - what honestly looked to me like it could have represented an overdose.  In regards to the dance... BEAUTIFUL. I was truly in tears.

This is beautiful and breath taking.

This was so strong, emotional, empowering, and you can relate to it in your own way.  It has everything a great dance should have. It makes you think.. This is perfect!

How beautiful is this dance made me cry

I watch this everyday, it's my favorite dance video on YouTube
