Grass champions enduring craft of storytelling in ballet world premiere
Berlin based writer Guenter Grass says storytelling remains vital as he discusses his new ballet The Scarecrows, which premiered October 7 at the West Berlin Opera House during the cultural festival. He traces his work across novels, plays, poems, ballet, painting, and sculpture, noting how his scarecrow theme links Dog Years, The Brass Drum, Cat and Mouse, and the new piece. Grass frames his parables as warnings against police states and blind conformity while likening his storytelling reach to Herman Melville.
