Johnny Weir, 'Agape' (Yuri On Ice): Rehearsal Montage
Footage from Johnny Weir's warmup for his performance at the University of Delaware, January 2017. See gorgeous black-and-white photos from this rehearsal at Binky's Johnny Weir Blog: http://binxblog.com/JW_AgapeBW.
In a nod to the amazing and vast Yuri On Ice fandom, which has enthusiastically embraced Johnny, the footage has been paired with a beautiful cover of 'Agape' recorded by the very talented Elisabeth Santos and dedicated to Johnny (https://youtu.be/Xt_VZ13voCQ).
During his interview with The Geekiary about Yuri On Ice, Johnny said, "If I could choose one performance to skate that would match me, I would definitely say Yurio’s 'Agape.' It is totally my style." Read the full interview here: http://bit.ly/JW_YOIGk16.
He mentioned in his YOI interview with Crunchyroll (https://youtu.be/_ldrU3crvd4) that he is "an original" and likely would not perform to music from the show. But he also noted that "if there is enough demand, perhaps I shall try some 'Eros' or some 'Agape' some day . . . "
Until then, please enjoy this imagining of Johnny’s Agape as he generously offers us a glimpse into his private world on the ice.
