Penthesilea (triptych)


It’s only after you have seen the show by Toneelgroep Amsterdam and have seen the poster in the street that you understand the statement Anthon Beeke am making. That’s also the experience you have if you see the poster for the next show before seeing the show itself. For theatre posters Anthon usually look for a metaphor for something that is itself a metaphor. Penthesilea is at the head of a group of very feminist women who only tolerate men to procreate. Naturally she falls in love with Zeus, who completely fucks her up and in this way loses everything she posseeses.
