Bauhaus Moholy-Nagy    Historical Theater (past)    Theater form today (present)    Theater of Totality (future) Licklider    Man-Computer Symbiosis Synthesis/Realization		Moholy-Nagy: "Theater, Circus, Variety," Theater of the Bauhaus (1924) Moholy-Nagy's idea of the "Theater of Totality," which he deems to be the theater of the future, puts man "on an equal footing with the other formative media" in contrast to the theater of today. He insists that one cannot simplify man to having definable meaning, and neither can you boil down other aspects of the theater. They should instead be a complex organism. Man in this scenario should be free to express in other ways than literary, but only in ways that are unique to man in order to make good use of his specialization. - Examples - Oskar Schlemmer scene from a performance of Form Dance Microephiphanies by Chris Dobrian and Douglas-Scott Goheen Light Painting - Moholy-Nagy Madam Butterfly Set - Moholy-Nagy Light Space Modulator - Moholy-Nagy
