The ballet is not an all-inclusive vision of Mozart as genius and man. There is no chronological narrative – only images! Five Mozarts are portrayed by five different dancers – Life and Work in movement. One cannot dance "Mozart", but one can create a ballet about a man who is perhaps like Mozart. Whereby DANCE must be more important than the man Mozart; otherwise the phenomenon MOZART will remain elusive.
