Les Paravents
This original vintage poster advertises Les Paravents (The Screens), Jean Genet’s explosive play about the Algerian War, one of the most controversial works in French theatre history. When it premiered at the Théâtre de l’Odéon in Paris in 1966, directed by Roger Blin, performances were disrupted by riots almost nightly, and the scandal reached the National Assembly. With its huge cast and painted screens as the only scenery, the play remains a landmark of 20th-century theatre, and this poster is a striking collectable for lovers of French theatre and graphic design.
