Program Note
The moment of weightlessness lingers, a fleeting breath before the inevitable descent. Gravity seizes hold, pulling faster and faster as the world blurs into a rush of wind and motion. There is no control, no escape—only the accelerating plunge toward whatever waits below. And then, in an instant, impact.
