"I am not a bad person. You say we're the bad people, I can't do anything right by you ... But tell me: if all the things I do are bad, what difference does one more bad thing make?"
Everyone knows the love story of Swanhilda, Franz, and Coppelia but what is the story of the doll's creator, the sinister and reclusive and genius Doctor Coppelius? Now, he grants you an audience, with his tale of the sinister Wandering People, a woman named Clara. With dehumanisation and humanity, scaremongering and understanding, revenge and forgiveness, despair and hope, it is time for the tragic villain from the Delibes's ballet to give his side of the story.
