👿 Et Satan Conduit Le Bal
"Lord of Fold, strongest God below!
To His temple overflowing
Crowds before His bent shape bowing,
The Serpent dares outbend the skies.
With contempt He views around Him
All the vaunted human race,
As they writhe in abject coils,
Without spines and waists they circle
Round about the pedestal,
Round about the pedestal.
Satan, He contorts them all,
Contorts them all!
Satan, He contorts them all,
Contorts them all..."
From the opera "Faust" by Charles Gounod, 1859.
Original here:
Méphistophélès's Act II aria – Le veau d'or
One of my favorites of all times, glad to finally make something inspired by it. Thought Rouge would make a cute little devil at the French opera, hehe...
p.s. YES the slow mo is intentional, I tried various speeds and like this speed the best 👍
