The Obscure
Man of Desire and the First Woman (Exhibition, Theme 1)

Men are boring, women are boring.

The woman reads the newspaper, the woman's eyes are downcast, the woman. . . ; The man is smoking, the man's forehead is raised, the man. . .

that's all. . .

The woman raised her head and looked, seeing nothing. Indeed, she saw nothing, she saw everything. The man stood up and looked out the window, everything, everything. . .

that's all. . .

The man received the call, straightened his clothes, and left. He wants to change.

The woman was at a loss when she heard the phone. . . Why wasn't the call to her?

two. Man and Second Woman (Exhibition, Theme 2)

We see a man with another woman with long hair. They are drinking and chatting.

Men are happy, women are happy.

They are dancing. Piazzolla's tango, passionate and direct.

Women are happy, men are happy.

The body transcends the prison constructed by the soul, and feels itself uncontrollably.

flesh. pleasure. freed.

Endless. . .

three. The man and the first woman (expansion, theme 1 variant) The

woman heard the man's request for a divorce, shed tears, leaned on the bed, and cried helplessly. She wants to change. She doesn't want to change. Not only was she more dazed, she was helpless.

The man is gone.

Four. A man and a second woman (expansion, theme 2 variant, but it sounds tonal like theme 1)

get married and move into a new home.

Desire is smiling.

Only belongs to the happiness of the honeymoon. . .

five. Man and second woman (recapitulation, melody of theme 2, tone and tone of theme 1)

Men watch TV, women watch TV.

There is no other, no. . .

six. Man and Second Woman (Recapitulation, Theme 1) The

man smokes, the woman looks out the window.

Only vacuum, only. . .

seven. The man and the second woman (recapitulation, theme 1, tried to get back to the tonality of theme 2, but couldn't get it back) The

man and the woman said, let's go dance.

They can only do this, the

man just walks.

The woman followed behind him, expressionless.

Eight, the whole Taiwan (Ending 1, Canon, Theme 1, 2)

In the ballroom, the man saw his ex-wife.

She is dancing with another man.

It looks like she is very happy.

9. Symbolic picture (Ending 2, low voice atonal)

People are floating in the air, neither rising nor falling.

Irregular movement.

Lost modern emotions.
