The Song of Nature

The Song of Nature was a sky ballet from Shel Du, written centuries before the planet was conquered by the Golden Empire. It was considered daring and innovative by Vimesk critics because it was the first sky ballet designed to be performed outdoors, in Shel Du's famously mercurial weather. Because preplanned sequences of dance could be thrown awry by changing winds, much of the ballet was designed for improvisation and variation; it was said that no two performances of The Song of Nature were ever perfectly identical.
