The Triadic Ballet - Vintage Bauhaus by Oskar Schlemmer 1924

"The Triadic Ballet" is a ground-breaking avant-garde dance performance created by German artist Oskar Schlemmer in 1924. While it is primarily known as a ballet, it was more of a futuristic theatrical spectacle that combined elements of dance, costume design, and abstract art.

The ballet was named "Triadic" because it was divided into three acts, each representing a different colour scheme: yellow, pink, and black. Schlemmer's choreography, costumes, and set design were highly innovative for their time, featuring geometric shapes, stylized movements, and abstract forms.

The dancers wore elaborate costumes that resembled geometric shapes and abstract sculptures, often restricting their movement and transforming them into living, moving artworks. The costumes were made of materials like metal, cardboard, and fabric, emphasizing their artificial and otherworldly appearance.

The set design and props were also geometric and abstract, featuring oversized shapes and bold colours that created a visually striking backdrop for the dancers.

Schlemmer's goal with "The Triadic Ballet" was to explore the relationship between the human body and space, as well as to challenge traditional ideas of dance and performance. The result was a visually stunning and thought-provoking work that pushed the boundaries of what art and performance could be. Despite its initial mixed reception, "The Triadic Ballet" has since become recognized as a landmark work of 20th-century avant-garde art.
