Available for hire / Hire this work

An over-the-top lyrical 'comedy' comprised of the cliche of 'the look', alienation, desire, romance, movement, transport, the 'big city', and Liszt's piano transcription of Wagner's Isoldens Liebestod. Two women yearn for each other as they approach an underground station. As the music climaxes, the image explodes. - R.P.
