Mensch und Kunst Figur (Man and Mask)
Bauhaus don Oskar Schlemmer's innovative concepts ranged from choreography and costume design to the very nature of the performance space itself. This documentary film was made with the artistic advice of Schlemmer's widow and presents a historically faithful reconstruction of works originally choreographed in 1926.

Triadische Ballet (The Triadic Ballet)
The reconstruction of a dance creation by Oskar Schlemmer, based upon an idea of “The Magic of Three.” Dancers as cones, as cubes, and as spheres serenely whirling and angling and vectoring...a peformance that must be seen to be believed.
• Directed by Franz Schombs. Music by Erich Serstl. (1970, 30 mins, color, Print courtesy of the Goethe Institute, San Francisco)
