00:00 Well, it was very emotional, but I think I probably didn't realise when we were in it

00:04 how much the significance of it would resonate with so many people.

00:08 I mean, I have been quite overwhelmed, and I know you have too, Johannes,

00:11 with the response to it.

00:13 But, you know, when we were in it, I felt like it was almost like an out-of-body experience.

00:17 And, you know, I was just transported to a different place,

00:20 and I couldn't imagine doing it with anybody else but you.

00:23 I know I've said that a few times, but, you know, Johannes understands grief as well,

00:27 and so I think that's why we connect so well.

00:30 But it was something extraordinary, actually, and I must say that

00:33 there were so many elements to it that came together with so many people

00:38 who were involved in that dance, you know, not just Arduino and Ashley,

00:43 who were the choreographers.

00:44 Johannes, you had your input too.

00:51 the music that resonated so much and had such deep meaning with the words.

00:55 There were so many elements about it which felt like it all came together at the right time.
