Bauhaus. Bühne. Dessau 1985 - 2007. Szenenwechsel - Bauhaus. Theatre. Dessau 1985 - 2007. Change of Scene [mit DVD - with DVD]

While theater isn't as widely associated with the Bauhaus as some other genres, the theater workshop at the Bauhaus was a catalyst in Weimar and Dessau performing arts. Eventually, its ideas were adopted internationally, including the use of color and light as meaningful elements of a dramatic production, new relationships between figure and space, and a move away from the fourth-wall stage. Today, the robust theater component of the Bauhaus Dessau Foundation's work includes house productions, guest appearances, productions and workshops, and successful revivals of the great Bauhaus festivals. The Theater at the Bauhaus continues to work within the exciting, conflicting spectrum of architecture and city, body and space, performing arts and design, and this book presents its key issues and concepts, along with a chronological survey of important periods and events. An accompanying DVD shows excerpts from works developed for the Theater at the Bauhaus in Dessau since 2000.
