🖤 Die Nacht der Puppen (Fernando Arrabal) – c. 1970 – Original A1 Poster by F + R Grindler for Tübinger Zimmertheater, Germany
Arrabal’s Le grand cérémonial in stark German photomontage
| Screen print | 84.1 × 59.4 cm | Germany
🎬 Introduction
Atelier F + R Grindler reduces Arrabal’s ritualistic drama to a single, unnerving tableau: a monumental, bleached head in extreme close-up overlaid with a crouched, black-clad figure whose tapering hands rake across the lips. The image floats on a matte black field, while crisp, white sans‑serif typography lays out title and credits with clinical calm. This tension—between psychological disquiet and rational order—captures the late‑1960s/early‑1970s West German theater graphic language.
Commissioned for the Tübinger Zimmertheater staging of Die Nacht der Puppen (Arrabal’s Le grand cérémonial), the poster exemplifies Grindler’s grid-led composition and Domberger’s screen-print precision: dense, inky blacks; razor-sharp type; and photographic contrast tuned for maximum theatrical impact. It is both a marketing object and a concise thesis on how postwar German design harnessed photomontage for avant‑garde performance.
✨ Why It Matters
- Crossroads piece where European avant‑garde theater meets the German poster renaissance via Grindler and the Domberger workshop.
- Domberger Siebdruck printing is a collector’s tell for period production—expect saturated blacks and clean whites rather than later offset softness.
- The photomontage + Swiss-inflected typography bridge German Plakat tradition and international systems design, appealing to theater and photo‑graphic design collectors alike.
- Venue-specific, DIN A1 ephemera with low survival; examples bearing the Domberger/Grindler margin credit are especially sought by specialists.
- A sharp snapshot of German theatrical modernism translating Arrabal’s surrealism into cool, procedural visual language.
