THIS WAS GURDJIEFF'S BALLET BUT it is more like a symbolic play with movements and music. He said that the dances were based on movements and gestures handed down by tradition and paintings in Tibetan monasteries. He never spoke about the origin of the music.

 
The setting is a densely populated Oriental town where Gaffar, a rich and hedonistic noble, falls in love with the beautiful Zeinab, the student of a White Magician whose students study the cosmoses and whose symbol is the enneagram. Gaffar enlists a Black Magician to win Zeinab's heart. The Black Magician casts a spell on her. The White Magician magically destroys his rival and brings Gaffar and Zeinab to him. They both arrive like zombies. Awakened by the White Magician, they reconcile with a final benediction from the White Magician and a prayer to the Creator to help men to avoid involuntary actions. The scenario was published by the Stourton Press, Capetown, South Africa, in 1957.
