The image is a flyer for two events at Harvard University on Tuesday, January 15th, at 8 PM. The events are held at the Science Center, located at the corner of Kirkland and Oxford Streets in Cambridge.

The first event is a screening of four short films related to the Bauhaus movement. The films reflect the work of two influential figures associated with the Bauhaus school, which operated from 1919 to 1933. The films include:

  1. Two German films about Oskar Schlemmer's innovative Bauhaus drama workshop, titled "Man and Mask" and "The Triadic Ballet."

The films are free and open to the public. The event is sponsored by Harvard's Busch-Reisinger Museum, which houses a large Bauhaus collection, including Moholy-Nagy's Light-Space Modulator.

The second event is a performance by the group Eurythmy, a new art of movement, at 29 Kirkland Street. The performance aims to make visible the language and songs of the world's peoples through their poets and composers. The five Eurythmists, accompanied by a pianist and a speaker, will perform works by various artists, including Robert Schumann, Franz Schubert, T.S. Eliot, Zoltán Kodály, Daisy Aldan, Joseph Haydn, Dimitri Shostakovich, Rudolph Steiner, and the Brothers Grimm.
