August was born in Copenhagen. The uninterrupted tradition of his major works (mainly at Royal Danish ) provides a fascinating insight into 19C aesthetics with its important role of miming (which is great when done well)

Choreographer (and director) August died in Copenhagen.
Despite all the changes in technique & aesthetics since then his surviving oeuvre like , Napoli, Folk Tale, Kermesse in Bruges is our window into the C19.
