Robert DeMayo performs this translation of the first lines from Shakespeare's Twelfth Night. The first line, "If music be the food of love, play on," is one of Shakespeare's most famous lines. This translation renders the music and poetry in visual terms as vibration imagery. The vibrations that Orsino feels are from giant drums which beat the rhythm that opens the play. The rhythm is similar to a heartbeat, and breaks after ten beats of stressed and unstressed rhythm, emulating a line of unrhymed iambic pentameter, the foundation of Shakespeare's verse. Another movie of Adrian Blue performing the same few lines with a slightly different translation will be added within the coming weeks. Look for it!
