From the script, describing the first section of the ballet, leading into "Somewhere":
"Then the apartment itself goes and the two LOVERS begin to run,
battering against the walls of the city, breaking through as chaotic
figures of the gangs, of the violence flail around them. But they do
break through and suddenly — they are in a world of space and air
and sun. They stop, looking at it, pleased, startled as BOYS and
GIRLS from both sides come on. And they, too, stop and stare, happy,
pleased.
Their clothes are soft, pastel versions of what they have worn before.
They begin to dance, to play: no sides, no hostility now; just joy and
pleasure and warmth. More and more join, making a world that
TONY and MARIA want to be in, belong to, to share their love with.
As they begin the steps of a gently love dance, a GIRL is heard singing:" |
