A song for Europe
A new musical by Gelan & Rebeka Swift
There can be no greater emotions than love and hate, and at times they can make strange bedfellows
indeed. From an early age we are taught that blood is thicker than water, and that a family member
has to be loved at all costs. It's just a pity that nobody told Elsa and Nils Pedersen, for although they
spend their lives paying lip service to each other, a vein of loathing undulates between them. Since
their formative years, derision and sarcasm has become their staple diet, choking each of them in
turn and driving away friends and loved ones. But there is one thing that they both love...music! It's
said that music can sooth the savage breast, but can it heal a rift that runs so deep and poisonous,
that not even the most optimistic amongst us would dare hope for reconciliation. But maybe there is
hope on the horizon, a seedling thought that might, just might, bring brother and sister together.
