Constructivist ballet

Theatre also prepared the ground for the advent of Constructivism

In November 1920 Meierkhold presented The Dawn, adapted from a poetic drama by Emile Verhaeren

The play had direct social and political value since it dealt with a Capitalist war which turned into a revolution of the international proletariat

Certainly, Diaghilev's production of La Chatte in 1927 was a Constructivist one and relied on a three-dimensional system both in decor and in choreography, but it did not derive from the internal tradition of the Ballets Russes

In look elsewhere-namely, to the theatres of St

Exter, Lissitzky, Popova, Stepanova, Yakulov are now gaining wide recognition in the Soviet Union and are serving as a vital source of inspiration to young Soviet designers

In this important development lies the most fitting monument to the beliefs and ideals of the Constructivist stage designers of the 1920s
