CHAIR-ACTORS: AN ABSTRACT THEATER OF FORMS

Oskar Schlemmer, a prominent figure in the Bauhaus movement, was known for his avant-garde approach to theater and performance art. In one of his groundbreaking performances, he aimed to achieve minimal form by reworking accessible textile materials, following the design principles of Marcel Breuer and Walter Gropius, both influential architects and designers associated with the Bauhaus school. In Schlemmer's theater performance, the chairs could be incorporated as part of the minimalist set design, serving both functional and aesthetic purposes.
