John Neumeier's "The Invisibles" explores how Germany opened to modern dance in the 1920s and what happened after the Nazis seized power. It reflects Germany's pioneering role in dance before 1933, highlighting influential choreographers like Rudolf von Laban and Mary Wigman. Using text, song, music, and dance, it shows how the Nazis changed the dancers' situation. An accompanying exhibition honors the victims and persecuted from the dance world. The piece aims to bring to light what lay in shadow, making it visible for today and the future.
