You will see various units of eurhythmicized [illegible word]. I would like to draw particular attention to the fact that today's performance attempts to present a scene from Goethe, the first scene of the second part of Goethe's “Faust”. While we have otherwise shown lyrical or epic representations, [...] [illegible word] we venture to present art dramatically. Now, I think that is something that I have not yet succeeded in doing, that eurythmic forms still arise that are suitable for the actual dramatic structure, for dramatic composition. The eurythmic art is just at the beginning - it will be perfected over time.
