In this film, Giacometti's sculpture (which in a sense already resembles a theatrical model) is streamlined and scaled up to become a stage set proper; the posed theatrical stills are restaged as tableaux vivants. Clothed in home-made costumes and striking stock poses, the performers in In the Palace parade degraded moments of 20th Century culture: the theatrical gestures of the Bauhaus, George Platt Lyne's lush photographs of the American Ballet Theater, the stylized choreography of The Ballet Russe, Martha Graham's Lamentation.
