Address on Eurythmy
Of course, one could also express what Mephisto has to say in eurythmic form. However, insofar as human beings also live as soul-spiritual-supernatural beings, it is precisely this inner being that is expressed and revealed through eurythmic speech movements. And we can also apply this when we want to express angelic beings. However, we have not yet invented devil eurythmy, and so Mephisto still has to be portrayed today using entirely naturalistic facial expressions. Perhaps one day we will succeed in discovering the corresponding “devil language” – I mean in eurythmic form – and then this too can be portrayed eurythmically.
