Scheerbart's sad, whimsical tales provide gentle though unexpected morals that outline his work as a whole: treat animals as one would treat oneself, mutual admiration will never lead to harm and if one is able to remember that the world is grand, one will never be sad. 520 $a Dance of the Comets , though published as an "Astral Pantomime," was originally conceived as a scenario for a ballet, which Richard Strauss had planned to score in 1900 (and which Mahler accepted for the Vienna Opera). Though the project was never realized, Scheerbart's written choreography of dance, gesture, costume, feather dusters, violet moon hair and a variety of stars and planets outlines a sequence of events in which everyone--enthusiastic maid, temperamental king, indifferent executioner, foolish poet--seeks, joins and, in some cases, becomes a celestial body: a staging of Scheerbart's lifelong yearning for a home in the universe. 650 0 $a Fairy tales $z Germany. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008103478 650 7 $a Drama. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00897468 650 7 $a Fairy tales. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00919916 651 7 $a Germany. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01210272 700 1 $a Bamberger, W.
