Label TextWeininger was very active in the theater workshop at the Bauhaus. His stage designs sought to transform abstract compositions into three-dimensional space that could be inhabited by figures. He pursued his interest in the stage after he moved to Berlin in 1928. Drawings like Design for Theater unite the rational and the fanciful aspects of Weininger's personality.
