The Dancer Of Strasbourg — Nobody Wrote This Down | EasyMO

[00:00:15]It started with route on a Monday. She stepped into the street and couldn't stop. No music played, no reason anyone could name. She danced until her feet began to drop. By Friday, there were 30 in the square with her. By August, there were hundreds in the road.

[00:00:39]They hired musicians thinking it would help them. Instead, it fed the fire, fed the load, dance, dance. Nobody's laughing. Dance till the cobblestones run red. Dance because the body found a language when every other language had gone dead.

[00:01:05]Dance dance. Strasburg is burning out with fire for something no one named.

[00:01:13]The year was 1518 in summer and nobody who dares was ever the same.

[00:01:28]The doctor said it was the blood too heated. The priest said it was punishment of sin. The city hide a hall to keep them dancing as if giving it a room would keep it in. Some danced for days. Some danced until they perished.

[00:01:48]Hard failures in the gutters and the heat. And still the ones who watched began to follow as if the cobblestones were calling to their feet.

[00:02:01]Dance, dance. Nobody's laughing. Dance till the cobblestone red. Dance because the body found a language when every other language had gone dead.

[00:02:17]Dance dance. Strasburg is burning up with fire was something no one named.

[00:02:25]The year was 1518 in summer and nobody who b was ever the same.

[00:02:39]Historians believe it was mass psychoggenic illness.

[00:02:47]Collective trauma with nowhere to go.

[00:02:51]The harvest had failed. The plague had come through twice. The body breaks before the mind admits that it is broken.

[00:03:02]It stopped as suddenly as it had started. One morning silence where the dancing was. No explanation offered, none recorded. Nobody wrote down why it stopped. Because nobody broke this down at all. Not really. Just numbers, names, a city strange disgrace.

[00:03:27]But somewhere on Strasburg stones, they're still there. 600 pairs of feet that couldn't find their place. Dance, dance. Nobody's laughing.

[00:04:03]dance. Yeah.
