The folded façade was designed based on works by Lyonel Feininger (expressionist painting) and the colored sculptural supports as an homage to the Triadic Ballet by Oskar Schlemmer (both master teachers at BAUHAUS Weimer). The back wall of the stage as well as the entire dome of the theater will be covered with LED panels.
