60. Eurythmy Performance

What must come to someone who is so burdened with guilt is the intrusion of the spiritual world and [a] healing from the spiritual world. This is what is needed, not a symbolic or allegorical representation, which would be inartistic. Goethe did not do that either, but he did depict what it is to have the supersensible world intrude in this Ariel scene with the elves, how the human being can strive for something new – even if they cannot thereby eradicate the guilt within them – when they come into right contact with the supersensible world. This is particularly suitable for eurythmic performances. Goethe wanted the second part of his “Faust” to be particularly suitable for the stage - and as far as the supersensory is concerned, if the eurythmic means of artistic expression had already existed in his time, he would undoubtedly have these [eurythmic means of artistic expression] /illegible passage] and would have presented that which otherwise, when the second part of “Faust” is presented on stage, always remains unsatisfactory.
