As a small distraction, here's Das Triadische Ballett (The Triadic Ballet), conceived, designed, and staged by the painter, sculptor, designer, and choreographer Oskar Schlemmer in 1922.

“Schlemmer’s main theme,” says scholar and choreographer Debra McCall, “is always the abstract versus the figurative and his work is all about the conciliation of polarities—what he himself called the Apollonian and Dionysian. [He], like others, felt that mechanization and the abstract were two main themes of the day. But he did not want to reduce the dancers to automatons.”
