It's back!  Kurt Schwerdtfeger was a student at the Bauhaus.  His Reflecting Color-Light-Play (as we call it in English) was a student work, performed in Kandinsky's house.  But it nevertheless has emerged as one of the most radical works of the Bauhaus and, indeed, of the 20th Century.  It uses a large hand-built cube projection apparatus in which performers activate stencil shapes and a switchboard of colored lights to form a complex, abstract light play appearing on its screen surface.  This will be something.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT:  You should be able to make it, after the show (and you could easily go before), to the new taco sensation Taqueria Al Pastor.
