The Invisible Ones

While different art forms have dealt, at least partially, with history between 1933 and 1945, the stories of the victims and personal tragedies among many dancers and choreographers during the 1920s and 1930s are still largely untold. With his project The Invisible Ones, John Neumeier and the National Youth Ballet of Germany have begun searching for their murdered colleagues, allowing their stories to resonate posthumously in an echo chamber of memory as they present impressions from the time – with a dance collage featuring music, song, and text that illuminates different aspects of German Expressionist dance and commemorates the victims of National Socialism.
