Wege zu Kraft und Schönheit

A historical documentary film by Wilhelm Prager from 1925 about the body culture of the 1920s, with a strong reference to the origins of Hellerau and the work of Jaques-Dalcroze – this film and the body images documented here can be seen very critically as precursors of the National Socialist body cult and the works of Leni Riefenstahl.
