33. Eurythmy Performance

In earlier times, in earlier weeks, we tried to bring those scenes from Goethe's “Faust” to dramatic stage representation that lead away from the ordinary life of the senses, into supersensible regions, where that which plays out of the spiritual world into the human soul is to be represented. I hope that we will also succeed in finding a real stage style for realistic scenes from eurythmy. So far, we have not yet succeeded in doing this. But everything in Goethe's “Faust” – and one often has the opportunity to observe such things – that stands out from the usual realism of the physical world, can be brought to the stage particularly through this silent language of eurythmy.
