Reveiller Le Monde

Act one just finished and oh my god it was incredible! You can tell that the entire company enjoys this ballet and they dance it so well.

Svetlana is on her A game tonight, not only technically but her acting is so strong too! She is so good at the naive and loving young girl, you actually believe she is 16. And her madness scene was on point too; I may or may not have cried a bit.

Sergei is also amazing, you can also tell he loves this part too. And don’t get me started on their chemistry, it is so strong and sincere that you legitimately believe the story.

The peasant pas de deux was great as well, Igor Tsvirko is amazing, I love watching him and he’s quickly becoming one of my favorites, for sure.

It was a shame that she slipped in Act Two though I guess those things do happen sometimes.

The moon is called Europa, and it doesn’t have just an ocean. It is completely covered in water with a mile-thick sheet of ice over the top.

Now we know that the ice has water under it because once in a while, massive fucking geysers shoot water up into space.

Now this brings up an interesting question about Europa: How in the fuck can the water stay warm enough to be liquid if there’s a mile-thick sheet of ice on top of it? 

And the theorized answer is: Europa has a core that is warm like our own. And it has undersea hydrothermal vents that are causing the geysers.

Now this would keep the water at above-freezing temperatures, and if the hydrothermal vents on Europa act anything like the ones on Earth, we have the potential of them spitting up organic matter from Europa’s core into the oceans.

And guess what that soup of organic matter means? The potential for life.
