[The Sketch 'Three (men) vs. One (woman)*', a dadaist piece of c. 14 minutes, conceived and performed by the Young Group* at the stage class of the Bauhaus Dessau, had its first public appearance in November 1928. The students Karla Grosch, Werner Feist, Georg Hartmann and Albert Mentzel had teamed up in the winter semester 1928/29 to jointly create new and more political shows. Cast: Karla Grosch (Girl), Albert Menzel (Lover), Werner Siedhoff (Gangster), Georg Hartmann (Policeman). - Oskar Schlemmer integrated the Sketch into the official touring program of the Bauhaus Stage.]
