The Bacchae were evil, horny, mysterious girls who accompanied Bacchus (the god of human pleasures) on his wanderings. It is a trilogy.
Anthon Beeke took advantage of this form by telling part of the story in each part.
As a result he hoped to draw a different kind of attention. The posters are printed on bitumen paper. That gives a beautiful effect, but when it rains they slowly slide into the street. The glue is too weak, or the paper is too heavy.

This poster was made to promote the performance Bachhantes, the first ballet Gerardjan Rijnders made for his ADM groep in collaboration with the National Ballet.

The girls were students from the Rietvel Academy, where both Anthon and Boudewijn Neuteboom (the photographer) were lecturers at that time.
