I don't think people understand how much I love this. They're in a church, expressing their love through a contemporary dance. I'm a contemp dancer. I'm bisexual. And I was Christian before some ish went down in my life. This hit hard man.

Similar here. I am a fairly well recovered from having been raised Catholic. The love part of those traditions are spot on, as is this work. Lets all dance!

[@bryanrice9149]

I hope you know that real christians uplift their brothers and sisters, gay or straight. Im not sure what the ish was, but i have a few guesses. Dont let it turn you away from God but towards Him. Look at His example. Jesus said to love those who hate you and pray for those who persecute you.

[@Sk8erchk4life]

I'm bisexual and I've never felt fault in God's love. My sexual attraction has nothing to do with my relationship with God. There are awful-hearted people out there who will choose to hate their brothers and sisters but people who truly have God's loving spirit, they dont discriminate, they welcome. I've met so many people like that, so I want you to know there is hope in people where God's love is truly present as it is apart of one of His greatest commandments.

[@mhandanunnerybosarge1690]

I am straight and also a Christian. I have seen so much hate from Christians toward the LGBTQ community, but those hateful few don't speak for the majority of us. Their voices may sometimes be louder because hate is such a loud emotion that often is spewed without any justifiable reason, but I sincerely hope that most other Christians love and respect our brothers and sisters with complete disregard to whom they love, because to do otherwise is simply foolish and not in any way Christian-like. You are loved. You are respected. And you are heard. Maybe not by everyone, but certainly by me and many, many others. I hope you're able to somehow make peace with God. He created you perfectly, and if being gay/bi was sinful He would not have created you this way. Much love to you, my friend.

Pride - Pride is an unrestrained and improper appreciation of our own worth. Widely considered the most serious of the seven sins; pride often leads to the committing of other capital sins. Pride is manifest in vanity and narcissism about one’s appearance, intelligence, status, etc. Dante described pride as “love of self perverted to hatred and contempt for one’s neighbor.”

A lot of people are questioning why they would dance on an altar in such unmodest clothing. First, most dance attire is tight to the body due to the fact that dancing requires the ability to move your limbs freely. Second, the dance isn't sexual, none of the behaviors shown in this video were inherently sexual in any manner. All of the movements were those of love and admiration. And 3rd, I don't know about other churches, but in my church the stage in the altar is a place of communication and expression. A place to talk to your fellow congregation and God. God made Adam , and he realized that humans need community to flourish. And then made Eve, he made humans naked, he made them skin and bones and muscles layered over one another. I think this dance was a beautiful representation of two men infatuated with each other and God. I see no misuse of religion, only two Faithful Men who found their soulmates in each other. ❤

When I was 4 years old I felt for the first time who I was, after 5 years I was put against from the church... when I was 12, I try to suicide. It's not about God. It's about what people manipulate saying who is God. Always when people say something in this line I know that I can prove to myself that I was born like that. Look all the possibilities that this universe can give us. Do u think that God is so small to create just one line of his love? He is more than our patterns and what our eyes can see. I trust in something high than just what bible says... we can't know all about Him, less than a fraction of a pale blue dot that we call earth... that for us is big enough, coz we can see, feel. Just God knows who he is and who he loves.

[@zuzokuhlendumndum9502]

I wish every homophobic person could read this comment that you wrote. Bcz yes, we should believe in something higher than what the Bible says. I’m Christian. But from the Bible- I don’t think that everything about Him is there. A person wrote it, not Him, himself. I believe in Him but I along with that, I believe that he created more than one certain pattern of love. No one should say that God does not love who. He know who He loves. If you’re a homophobia person who reads the Bible, I’m sure you’ve come across something along the lines of”God loves us all”. If a gay person declares himself as a child of God. Believe me, He loves him/her.

I never hated LGBT but I knew plenty of people who did. At the end of the day, I left Christianity because it didn’t feel true to me anymore.

[@jumanaahmed716]

Me too, it's just the fact that both things are so important to you and you have to pick one of them.

[@xoxarily]

For me personally, I’m still unsure about my sexuality (I’m either bi or a lesbian, I know that for sure) but Christianity was very close minded for me. So, I created my own perception and religion for myself. I believe there is right and wrong and doing something wrong will bite you in your ass, whether it be dead or alive. I believe you can love whoever you want as long as it’s consensual between both of you and that the other person is smart and old enough to make that decision ( nobody under the age of 18 or old that you can take advantage of them) I believe there is a higher being or power that sees, knows and hears everything, but can’t predict anything. I believe that this higher being created the entire world (space, planets, animals and plants) I believe there are no prophets or humans that can communicate with this higher being. I believe this higher being doesn’t control us and that we are responsible for our own actions I believe in the concept of Khama like Hindus, but definitely not reincarnation I believe we all have a purpose in life

[@JacquelineUnderwood]

Xarii Fernandes welcome to the concept of paganism 😂 where we all believe vastly different things 😂 I believe the same on love. I don’t believe any gods exist as individuals but I do use the images of specifically Celtic gods to represent different things in life and to focus on those aspects. I also believe that nature is the most important thing, and that we should treat it with respect and integrate ourselves into it, because the disconnect is why people don’t care if they hurt the environment. When you hurt nature, it hurts everything else, including you.

Just stumbled on this. Stunning. You twist yourself around and turn yourself inside out, and then somehow you find someone that can love you. You learn to dance with each other and support each other, and then someone comes and tries to tell you that what you have isn't "good" or "right". Life can be so hard. If we are lucky enough to find someone to love us and love them in return, no one has the right to tell us anything about it at all. If we all followed the golden rule and treated others the way we wish to be treated, the world would be such a better place. No other doctrine needed at all. If you don't wish to be judged, dont judge others. So deceptively simple, but so hard to do.

Dancers are always so impressive! The way they are so athletic yet graceful blows my mind. These two made impossible movements look possible. Thank you so much for sharing your craft and your story!

[@Little_Lotta]

My god the way you guys move is just so graceful and beautiful. The context and the location, perfect. This is a real work of art that you should be truly proud of.

[@waltcraig8098]

So beautiful, I broke into tears when they kissed. An amazing choice to film this breathtaking dance to the music ha Hallelujah in a church, and clearly a Roman Catholic one. And to end with LOVE, so perfect.

[@PrdDad]

This dance makes a straight guy cry. Raw emotion.

[@Phantrax]

This is still one of my favourite videos on KZbin I keep going back to once in a while. It's pure art and everything we need to see more of.

[@VanessaAsay]

That was incredibly moving. I felt the love, the strength, the tenderness & affection. I was in awe, delighted, and deeply deeply moved.

[@boblossie3192]

I've seen this performance before, but once again I sobbed through it's entirety. The beauty of their dance, carried out in perfect synchronicity was not simply about their love as a couple - it was about what we need to aspire to as a global society. Yes, working together and moving together as though we are one in perfect harmony and unison. This is such a powerful message and the talents of these two men are extraordinary. Again - they made me weep just watching their purity and unquestionable talent and physical power that they make seem to be effortless. Moments like this empower me to try my best to heal the world. THANK YOU.....

This is pure, this is kind, this overflows with light and love... It's meaningful and captivating. I wish the best of life for everyone involved in this masterpiece.

[@hans-peteradams4497]

This is just wonderful! The grace, the power, the kindness, the magic, the love, the message,Jeff Buckley's voice, this video is just awesome. My thanks go out to all who made this video a reality. In particular to Matthew Richardson and Francois Perrault: This is plain awesomr.

[@mikal0d0n]

This is four years old and I only found this masterpiece now. This is a beautiful and powerful message! And it made me cry.

[@tinoaguero8901]

Brings tears to my eyes every time I see this.. Pure LOVE.. so touching, vulnerable and giving and letting Go.. Magical.

[@philshuster7463]

Captivating, stunning and if I may say, magnetic. That is the power of true, undefiled love. It is contagious. Watching this, I was drawn into their lives. As they shared the power of love between two people in the most beautiful way I have ever seen on stage. It was far more than a performance!

[@ascotberks2018]

As someone who struggles to get up off the floor after playing with the dog, these dancers are incredible.

[@intercat4907]

As someone who struggles not to spit wine on the keyboard after finding a really funny post ... mmmhhmck glp caough. :D

[@mdthsings1]

What You and GaBo0n said. FLATLINED!!!!

[@SavedByGrace-69]

You and me both 😅

[@stevostevo202]

Totally amazing! The athletic ability of these two men is only matched by the love they have for one another. Thank you to everyone involved with this production, your hard work and dedication is much appreciated.

[@carlvlaeminck2171]

A beautiful choreography by two amazing artists, in a church. Times have changed and this is exactly how it is supposed to be. Beautiful and touching.

[@lenazorel690]

Indescribably beautiful...my grandma only asked me one question when I came out: "ARE YOU HAPPY?" she was the only one in my family who did that and even though she's no longer alive, I still love her for it to this day...☺️❤️🏳️‍🌈

[@seankinsella8029]

This is the most moving and emotionally moving piece of contemporary dance that I have ever seen. it is perfect in every way. It is the perfect length, set to the perfect music, with two perfect performers; leaving me perfectly wanting.

[@Lenagravy]

This is so beautiful. The ways that they conjoined their bodies to look like they fit perfectly together, like two sculptures that used to be one, torn apart, but the peices still fit together so perfectly, it looks like it was never broken. It is rare that a dance will take my breath away or truely speak to me because at my dance school, it is all about "sass" and while that is okay, I want to do a dance that means something to me. One where I don't have to show facials because they are already there. I want a dance where people can ask me the meaning and the story and I can tell them while being able to relate to it. I want to dance something as beautiful as this.

[@mimihayer3767]

The athleticism, the power, the finesse, the tenderness, the affection, the setting, the footage at the beginning WOW incredible 🌈♥️♥️

[@marias.9472]

From Jeff Buckley’s Hallelujah iteration, the choreograph, the talent and skill, the raw emotion, the setting to the message just perfection! Someone needs to stop cutting those onions already 🥺

[@sapna__620]

Such a beautiful video Matthew 💗 There are stories that need to be told & messages that need to be heard & this is one. Choosing kindness & choosing love is words we should all live by...and more so when there are those who use fear, hate & ignorance as their weapons against those within the LGBTQI community. The music, the settings, the dancers, your vision all come together to create a moving heartfelt story, one that will foster discussion, win over heart & minds & speak to many a soul. Thank you Matthew for sharing this, thank you to the dancers and the entire team, you should all be proud of the work you have produced. Be proud, be heard, choose kindness, choose love 💗

[@AK-ii2vo]

The final part with the paint is just stunning. The best thing is they are a real couple and today they still togueter. I wish I could have that same luck in a future ❤

[@docphil3886]

Holy snitchel!!!! I am speechless! The chemistry, the emotion, everything!! Gives me chills and awed!!

[@stevefreedman470]

I had come out to my grandmother years ago as well as Mother and family and friends...they were the most supportive and loving at the time. Bless you grandmother for being so loving and supportive...the important thing in life is to be a good human being treating others with kindness, respect and dignity.....God Bless You!😊❤

[@derkokos1288]

I cried. So much meaning and thought behind this beautiful piece of art. It expresses all I felt and hit me right in the heart. Wow🙌

[@kevinbuckley7705]

Thanks to whoever is behind this beautiful film. These two dancers performed this on the French version of Britian's Got Talent - it's somewhere on KZbin - to great applause and praise. Their love for each other glowed. I don't speak French but from the smiles all round the judges loved them. The New Testament is for love of one another as such a church perfect. What we have in The Old Testament - The Bible - could not be more different from the teachings of Christ so hobbit hembree below should just go bite his bum!!!

[@cynthiabartley2450]

I HAVE SEEN AND JUDGED HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DANCERS ...AND THE TWO OF JUST REFRESHED IT ALL .. GOSH DARN IT I LOVE YOUR PIECE .. AND THE TWO OF BEAUTIFUL CREATIVE MASTERPIECES ..

[@120DEA]

Why am I just now seeing this?! WOW! Thank you for this❤

[@carolynh6852]

The choreography and the emotion the dancers put into this piece is so beautiful

[@muhammadizham9581]

I watched this while listening to the Arabic version Ya Ilahi by Siedd and it was beautiful, You captured the grace and beauty that I feel. My heartfelt thanks for expressing the struggle and yearning yet strength.
