Pomp is the eighth part of a series based on Arthur Schnitzler’s Traumnovelle. Circular choreography, the dome of the sound stage in Düsseldorf, a heavenly ceiling resembling the firmament and universe: The pompous circular choreography mixes with heavenly projections. Finger dances in gold satin gloves, brimming carafes of champagne in pyramidal cones, performers in cat-suits who emerge from the same colored background. Everything turns. Pure pomp.
