Trias

The triadic ballet of Oskar Schlemmer is his most famous work for the theatrestage and this which is connected mostly with the stage of the Bauhaus.
So little it was to be seen during the twenties, the pictures of the ballet are connected today on the reconstructions and new creations of the sixties and seventies. Unfortunately, there have been to date only two such attempts which are also both historical today.

Instead of a stiff one to one costumerecreation the costumes are so interpreted as Schlemmer had developed them simply and originally as an enlargement of ballet costumes and stage figurines (also of the puppet theatre). Instead of automated, stare to dehumanised figurines to a mechanised music TRIAS picks out as a central theme the breaking off, the explosion and physical joy and musical action in the music and dance theatre. Instead of a celebration of high constructive Bauhaus art, TRIAS focusses itself on the clowneske and carnival stresses in Oskar Schlemmer's access to the stage.

TRIAS of the THEATER DER KLAENGE is a new interpretation with the dance and musical possibilities of the 21st century. It ventures in 2014/15 for the first time for nearly 40 years and more than 90 years after his première.

Besides, TRIAS does not want to animate more or less as the inheritance of the classical modern art, but also the mind of the „roaring twenties“ and with today's physical and musical technologies to make a today's (Bauhaus) stage party!

The triadic ballet was at that time an alternative concept to the expressionistic dance, at that time in Germany the favourite modern dance. TRIAS gets on this way as an alternative concept to many forms of topically determining contemporary dance concepts by using contemporary dance and music vocabulary in another form.
