Mary Wigman Tanzt(1929)

A priestess in “Serafisk Sang”, virginal in “Pastorale”, botanic in “Sommertanz” and finally a witch in “Hexentanz”, Mary Wigman is a woman-flower, goddess and a prophetess in turn. Her jerky, sombre and introspective movements proudly claim the expression of the free body. We are at the end of the roaring twenties and Mary Wigman provoked a real revolution in the world of dance.
