Summary

A groundbreaking exploration of the Bauhaus movement's lesser-known but equally innovative theatrical experiments, 'Scénographies au Bauhaus' reveals how festive gatherings and collaborative reflections were pivotal to its creative output. Through the firsthand account of Albert Flocon (formerly Mentzel), a student at Bauhaus Dessau from 1927 to 1930, the text illuminates the movement's focus on scenography, particularly under Oskar Schlemmer's guidance. Flocon's vivid narratives and linocut reproductions capture the dynamic interplay between performance, art, and social interaction, challenging the traditional emphasis on Bauhaus's architectural and utilitarian designs. This work offers a fresh perspective on the school's multifaceted approach to innovation, blending artistic expression with communal engagement.
