Gerhard Bohner & Henk van Dijk - Das Triadische Ballett (The Triadic Ballet) - 1989

A film after Oskar Schlemmer’s dances. Schlemmer (4 September 1888 – 13 April 1943) was a German painter, sculptor, designer and choreographer associated with the Bauhaus school. In 1923, he was hired as Master of Form at the Bauhaus theatre workshop, after working at the workshop of sculpture. His most famous work is Triadisches Ballett (Triadic Ballet), which saw costumed actors transformed into geometrical representations of the human body in what he described as a “party of form and colour“. This is not the 30 minute long short by Franz Schömbs, Margarete Hasting, Georg Verden (1970)
