Asaf Avidan - Anagnorisis (Official Video)

Directed by Wim Wenders, starring Bobbi Jene Smith

Coined by Aristotle, Anagnorisis is a literary term for the ultimate moment of revelation of a character. That moment, which through the unveiling of a previously hidden element of a story’s plot, the character is confronted by his or her true identity.
Anticipating my 40th birthday, I found myself taking the time away from the stage and burrowing down into my own self, looking for new ways to understand and capture who I am. But the more I dug deep, the more the nebula was intangible. Moving, mutating... every time I grabbed it and penciled it down, it would already change and turn into something else.
As an artist it was devastating. To not be able to “capture” something precise. As a human, it was challenging but intoxicating. All the feelings, and stories and deep archetypes in me were all interwoven into a complex, abstract, ever-changing cloud. Trying to capture it would be destined for failure.
Still... regardless of the impossibility... I felt the need to try to portray this landscape. This is “Anagnorisis”.

Finally, it's clear
it's always been you
rain starts to fall
follow it up
to where it begins
deep in the ocean
Love is a wave
around our bodies
Anagnorisis

Finally, I know
drenched to the bone
what you call home
I call redemption
Peripetia

it always ends bad
this time it won't
end

Rain starts to fall
drowning my body
I swim to you
how long has it been
dormant inside me
sleeping away

Love is a wave
around our bodies
Love is a wave
inside our bodies
Anagnorisis
