Oskar Schlemmer saw the human body as a new artistic medium. He saw ballet and pantomimes as being free from the historical baggage of theater and opera and, therefore, capable of presenting his ideas of choreographed geometry, the man as a dancer, transformed by his costumes, moving in space. He saw the puppet and puppet movement as superior to that of the human, as this emphasized that the average of all art is artificial. This device could be expressed through stylized movements and the abstraction of the human body. Schlemmer saw the modern world being guided by two main currents, the mechanized (man as a machine and body as a mechanism) and the primordial impulse (the depths of creative urgency). He claimed that choreographed geometry offered a synthesis; the Dionysian and emotional origins of dance become rigid and Apollonian in its final form.

Sanja Marusic

Moonflight
The fashion short was inspired by the symbolic abstract forms and geometric shapes of the avant- gardist Triadic ballet. Sanja Marusic simplied bodily shapes by substituting them with cylinders and circles, she made her own costumes and then abstracted the human form even further by incorporating stylised dance movements by filming herself dancing. The result is a surrealist symbiosis of the human body moving through time and space.

TRIADIC BALLET
Video of the reconstruction of Oskar Schlemmer’s Triadic Ballet by Margarete Hastings in 1970. This version was advised by Ludwig Grote and Xanthi Schawinsky (students of Schlemmer at the Bauhaus) and Tut Schlemmer, Oskar Schlemmer’s widow. The music is by Erich Ferstl. It is divided into three sections: yellow, pink and black. This version is a reconstruction based on the documentation on the Triadic Ballet.
