The Story of Heaven and Hell: A ballet and a game

Two outcasts from society discover that they have been played by an unscrupulous world and the only way to survive it, is to rise above it all and dance the evil away even kill "it".One of the outcasts is threatening the other with a gun. They are having a violent interaction amongst the dancers. The dancers are the angels.They come to the rescue of the threatened outcast, by performing the “devil dance" conjuring the evil spirits. They surround the evil and the threatened outcast managed to remove the gun from his enemy and kill him. He has killed and he is evil too. The murdered outcast is lying on the floor and the dancers in turn bow down, in a sign of respect.The dancers toast to the dead wishing it a resurrection to a new being, pure and good.The ballet itself is a taken-on Britain's society in the 21st century and the desperation endured by some members of society too often ignored. It may depict an unflattering view of the Royal family but it also underlines the deep divide between different classes in British society.The Queen is mentioned as the story was initially set when One was Head of state.In the chapters, the main narrator undergoes a psychoanalysis and indirectly introduces the ballet.The ballet is itself an apogee of the art but a reflection on British society, selfish and desperate that is driving many to become outcasts without safety net and completely ignored by the political mainstream that is shaping society.
