The Triadic Ballet
The Triadic Ballet, a symbol of the Weimar era and modernism, was designed and choreographed by Bauhaus artist Oskar Schlemmer. For a 1926 performance, Paul Hindemith composed musical accompaniment. This dance, performed by three dancers, uses the human body as a medium, experimenting with the interconnectedness of costumes, music, and movement, as well as space, color, and form. The sculptural costumes reduce the human figure to geometric, formal shapes, constraining the spatial movements of the three dancers. This exhibition of six of its iconic figurines is the first showing in the United States in more than thirty years. The installation, featuring a design by Frank Gehry, is co-organized with C. Raman Schlemmer and includes original film footage.
On display in Walt Disney Concert Hall's BP Hall from Feb 10–23, 10AM-2PM Monday–Saturday*.
*Exceptions: On February 20, BP Hall will be open from 2PM-5PM.
