Poster and Original Artwork for Six Public Acts to Transmute Violence into Concord [Legacy of Cain][Julian Beck]Pittsburgh: The Living Theatre, [1975]. Pencil on offset printed map of Pittsburgh with four small pieces of tape near right edge; stencil print in black ink on offset printed map of Pittsburgh. Both 36 x 25 ½ in. Very good; heavily creased from folding, some minor tears at fold lines, and toning and bumping at edges.Original hand-drawn poster mock-up and stenciled poster by Living Theatre co-founder Julian Beck for Six Public Acts to Transmute Violence into Concord, part of the Living Theatre’s Legacy of Cain cycle of plays.This mock-up and poster were both produced on roadmaps of Pittsburgh, a reference to the fact that the performances were staged not in a traditional theatrical venue, but in public spaces across the Steel City. Throughout the 1970s, the Living Theatre performed The Legacy of Cain in several nontraditional venues around the world, from a Pittsburgh steel mill to a Brazilian prison and the streets of Palermo, Italy. These plays were designed not only for a variety of venues, but a variety of audiences, especially those who would otherwise have limited access to theater.The printed version of the poster differs slightly from the pencil mock-up. Most notably, Beck has printed his own version of the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW) logo, which, while a feature of the map used for the mock-up, is missing from the map used for the print.Condition as described in catalogue note.
