The Struggle of the Magicians
A two-act scenario contrasting the school of a white magician with that of a black magician, with dances, music and an allegory of the choice between conscious work and power. Ouspensky mentions it in Fragments as the first project by which Gurdjieff made himself known in Moscow.
