There’s no doubt about it that during election week, a feel good video of any sort can bring down the anxiety a majority of the world is carrying. As the United States waits for the results of who will be the next president, it’s hard to comb through social media without being drowned by election coverage – from every angle. Managing to stand out amongst the noise is an Amazon advertisement titled, “The Show Must Go On.”
In the two minute clip, a ballet dancer can be seen preparing for a big winter show until the COVID-19 news cancels what seems to be a highly anticipated event. This can directly correlate to the many disappointing hits that happened during height of the pandemic. Throughout the world to ensure safety, at the beginning of March a mandatory lockdown was put in place across multiple countries and while some have lighted the lockdown protocol, many are still at a standstill.
The Amazon video concludes with the neighborhood the Ballet resides in hosting a social distant performance for the dancer and ends with the phrase, “The show must go on.” As the world waits for the 46th President of the Unites States to be announced, this advertisement is a reminder that our new normal shouldn’t deter our personal successes.
Watch the Amazon advertisement below.
