Product description
đŸ’„ Meteor – Friedrich DĂŒrrenmatt (Haiyuza Theatre, Japan) – Original B2 Poster Swiss Playwright in Japanese Avant-Garde Design | Vintage Theatre Poster | 51 × 73 cm Striking original Japanese poster for the 1980s production of “Meteor” (メテă‚ȘăƒŒăƒ«) by Friedrich DĂŒrrenmatt, staged at Tokyo’s renowned Haiyuza Theatre. With its fractured geometric layout, stark typography and vivid use of color, the poster reflects the existential unease and visual fragmentation central to DĂŒrrenmatt’s work. Originally published in 1966, Meteor is a surreal black comedy about a dying man who cannot die — a reflection on media, medicine, and absurdity. This Japanese interpretation embraces that energy with a bold, near-psychedelic aesthetic typical of Tokyo’s radical graphic scene in the 1980s. --- 📐 Poster Details: - Title: Meteor (メテă‚ȘăƒŒăƒ«) - Playwright: Friedrich DĂŒrrenmatt - Theatre: Haiyuza Theatre (äżłć„Șćș§ćŠ‡ć Ž), Tokyo - Dates: September 1–22 (likely 1980s, exact year not printed) - Format: B2 (approx. 50 × 70 cm / 20 × 28.5 in) - Design: Unknown artist, avant-garde Japanese graphic tradition - Language: Japanese - Condition: Good vintage condition with signs of age and handling: ‱ Fold marks and some light tearing at the top right corner,middle and bottom Still displays beautifully, especially when framed - Printed on heavyweight matte stock – rare for Japanese posters, gives it a tactile, almost silkscreen-like feel Ships rolled in a protective tube with tracking and insurance. - Print type: Offset lithograph - Provenance: Original event poster, not a reproduction --- ✹ Why it matters: A rare intersection of European post-war literature and Japanese graphic minimalism, this piece is more than a theatre announcement — it’s a design artifact. Perfect for interiors influenced by Bauhaus, brutalism, or Tokyo 80s psychedelia. One of those posters that speaks quietly but doesn’t let go.
