[In 1929 the second of the Building block games, 'Building problems', has its premiere under the title 'A-B-C-Construction' at the 'Metallic Party', which is the motto of the Bauhaus Carneval of 9 February 1929; Bauhaus stage Dessau, conceived and directed by Oskar Schlemmer.]

Scheper: "Three masked dancers perform this show of nine minutes under consistent lighting. ... All ... actions are performed with so deep almost solemn severity that the subversive ironic of the play reveales only gradually."* [209, p. 193]
