Bergman and Donya Feuer got the idea for The Dance of the Damned Women during the filming of The Magic Flute, for which Donya did the choreography.
The Child (Helene Friberg) who was born free, but who is slowly forced to participate in the other women's role-playing.
In the same year, Helene Friberg (The Child) also appeared in Face To Face as Jenny Isaksson’s daughter Anna.
Two damned souls and Death (Nina Harte, Lena Wennergren, and Lisbeth Zachrisson).
Helene Friberg and Nina Harte had both appeared in The Magic Flute. Friberg as the girl in the audience, and Harte as one half of the dragon.
The Dance of the Damned Women was shot at the Dämbastudio on Fårö.

Before warming-up with the dancers, Donya Feuer did warm-up exercises with the old Fårö-men who were part of the film crew.
First assistant cameraman, Lars Karlsson, diligently documented Donya Feuer's sojourns with the Fårö-men.
