Munich coffee warmer

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Bavarian waltz Münchener Kaffeewärmer , occasionally also called Münchner Kaffeewärmer , is a composition by Carl Englert (Opus 13,1). He became known from 1918 through the scenic implementation of the dancer Niddy Impekoven . Their performance was referred to as trample and stamp dance and in 1925 was assigned to the genre of dance pantomime . The dance scholar Dianne S. Howe assigns dance within the framework of the avant-garde to the dance-like confrontation with the peril of the object in the context of human fate.

Artistic implementation

The dance was already part of the program at Niddy Impekoven's first dance evening on December 4, 1918 in the Frankfurt Opera House and remained in her repertoire for years. Photos show the dancer in a folk South German costume with a straw hat. Ernst Blass wrote: "She probably only intended this dance as a funny, undemanding, imaginative study of movement; but that doesn't change anything; here something moves along that is not only comfortable and not only warms coffee. It could be something of Goethe's walking bell, who has donned the beautiful, broad, dignified crinoline that reaches down to the floor instead of the metal coat. "

Cinematic perception

The film recording of Niddy Impekoven's dance to Englert's music came to the cinemas in 1925 with the film Paths to Strength and Beauty . On February 16, 1925, it was approved by the Berlin Film Testing Center and listed the dance Munich coffee warmer by Niddy Impekoven under "dance pantomime".
