Abstract
"John Neumeier interweaves the story with elements of Andersen's biography, making the writer a figure in his ballet. The mermaid's feeling and her tragic destiny become a reflection of Andersen's own longing. The Mermaid travels through both worlds, enduring torment because of her committed love for a prince - but through her own strength in the end - transcends"-- Container.
