It is natural that the aims of the Bauhaus - to seek the union of the

artistic-ideal with the craftsmanlike-practical by thoroughly investigating

the creative elements, and to understand in all its ramifications the essence

of der Bau, creative construction - have valid application to the field of the

theater. For, like the concept of Bau itself, the stage is an orchestral com-

plex which comes about only through the cooperation of many different

forces. It is the union of the most heterogeneous assortment of creative elements. Not the least of its functions is to serve the metaphysical needs

dental on the basis of the rational.
