Ich bin, Alle Taten, tun wir, Flammen brechen in die Mitternacht (I am, all actions, we do, flames break into midnight)

Lothar Schreyer was a German theatrician and editor of an expressionist magazine called Der Sturm, and established the Bauhaus’ theater program. Shortly before assuming this position at the Weimar school, he printed the experimental play Crucifixion, which explored themes of spiritual transcendence. Schreyer’s unorthodox playbook attempts to transcribe the multisensory experience of the performance into a printed format.  

Although it is of great interest to art and design historians as part of the Bauhaus' body of work, Schreyer’s playbook was widely regarded as a practical failure, and the performance was “poorly received by the school due to its cultish, melancholy tone and overtly morbid content” (Casciato, Fox, and Rochester, Experimental Theater).
