All of these are inner experiences that humans go through, not naturalistic stage experiences, although they are not allegories or symbols. But precisely when one wants to portray something like this, and when, as in these dramas, the subject matter is already conceived in eurythmic terms, then eurythmy is particularly well suited to expressing such things. You will therefore see Johannes Thomasius appearing in a naturalistic, mimetic manner. The other characters are figures with whom human beings become acquainted in the spiritual world. They are therefore best spoken from outside, declaimed from outside, and presented artistically on stage in stylized eurythmy.
