This poster advertises an adaptation by Bertholt Brecht of Der Hofmeister ('The Tutor'), a comedy written by Jacob Lenz, at the Schauspielhaus, Kiel, about 1975. Holger Matthies specialises in graphic design for theatre and music. This surreal image advertised a play featuring the castration of the main character. Matthies's powerful works depend on the art of photography and photomontage. He takes his own photographs and works consistently with the same printer, Bahruth, to achieve the desired brilliance and clarity.
