I have only read this review and have not been able to see the animated move. There seems to be no mention of her Her relationship with Alfred Wolfsohn whom she calls "Daberlohn" in her singspiel. He appears to have been her first lover. His philosophy of Life and Art impacted her deeply. I met her step mother, Paula Lindberg, years ago years ago when I was working on a production of Charlotte's work. Wolfsohn existed and it is clear in Charlotte's paintings and writings that he had an enormous impact on her life as an artist. I do wonder why this was left out of this new work.
