AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Original edition of the play by Jean Genet (1910-1986) published in 1956. One of the copies printed on Lana in-seize Jésusfiligrané l'Arbalète, (no. 1960).
Paperback, with a beautiful cover decorated with a lithograph by Alberto Giacometti.
In excellent condition.
Entirely uncut copy
Le Balcon is a play by Jean Genet in nine scenes, written in 1956 and first performed on May 18, 1960, at the Théâtre du Gymnase under the direction of Peter Brook. The play underwent numerous rewrites from 1955 to 1968, reflecting Genet's difficulty in concluding his work.
A luxury brothel while the revolution rumbles outside.
Clients play the bishop, the judge, the general. More true than their models. In the sumptuous or sordid comedy that Madame Irma's clients put on, "the evil on stage explodes, shows us naked, leaves us stunned if possible, and has only ourselves to turn to."
