EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and comical lithograph, titled "L'envers du theatre" captures the lively atmosphere behind the scenes of a French play in 1902. Created by Benjamin Rabier, this illustration was originally featured in Le Pele-Mele magazine on April 27th of that year. The image showcases the humorous side of performing arts, with actors and actresses engaging in amusing antics backstage. The scene depicted is reminiscent of Shakespeare's famous balcony scene from Romeo and Juliet, adding an element of familiarity to the composition. However, instead of portraying a romantic encounter between star-crossed lovers, Rabier presents a satirical twist. The characters are shown engaged in playful banter and exaggerated gestures while maintaining their theatrical personas. The artist's use of bold colors adds to the overall comedic effect, enhancing each character's expression and movement. Sound effects written throughout the print further emphasize the entertaining nature of this behind-the-scenes glimpse into theater life. With its clever satire and witty caricatures, "L'envers du theatre" offers viewers a lighthearted escape into early 20th-century French culture. This delightful lithograph serves as both an homage to William Shakespeare's timeless works and as a testament to Rabier's talent for capturing humor through artistry.
