«The Stealing of the Veil» from Johann Karl August Musäusʼ col- lection «Volksmärchen der Deutsche» (German Folk Tales, 1784) is considered one of the sources of the popular action ballet. This fairy tale is partly set in the Ore Mountains near the Saxon «Swan City» of Zwickau and provides an exciting alternative to the traditional interpretation of «Swan Lake». Based on this story and accompanied by a new arrangement of Pyotr I. Tchai- kovsky‘s music, Johan Inger transforms Musäusʼ fantastic tale around the motif of the swan maiden into a new choreography.
