Die Seele am Faden
Why do we find a dancer's movements beautiful? How do grace, sensuality, and meaning arise? Friedemann Vogel, principal dancer of the Stuttgart Ballet, explores these questions, inspired by Heinrich von Kleist's essay "On the Marionette Theatre." His solo performance "Die Seele am Faden," created with Thomas Lempertz, juxtaposes conscious movement with an accompanying dancer-avatar, questioning Kleist's idea that true grace exists only in puppets.
