The Theatre of the Bauhaus

This volume introduces the 'theatre of space' as a pivotal concept in modernist performance, highlighting its emphasis on visual, aural, and plastic stage qualities over narrative or character. Focusing on Oskar Schlemmer's work within the Bauhaus Theatre Workshop, it explores how this approach challenged traditional theatre norms while influencing contemporary ethics, aesthetics, and society. The study connects Bauhaus innovations to twentieth-century practitioners like Robert Wilson, Tadeusz Kantor, and Robert Lepage, offering a framework for understanding avant-garde performance in Weimar-era Germany and beyond.
