376 - TWO POSTERS: 1) “TEATRINO DI IMAGES 70 ABANO” BASED ON HITLER’S *MEIN KAMPF* AND *THE CONSCIENCE OF THE WEST* BY E. M. CASERTA, TEATRO LABORATORIO VIETNAM. Dimensions: 50 x 70 cm. This historic poster advertises a performance by the Teatro Laboratorio directed by Ezio Maria Caserta, who, together with Jana Balkan, founded the renowned research and experimental theater company Teatraopera. The play combines a dramatic adaptation based on Adolf Hitler’s *Mein Kampf* with an original text by Ezio Maria Caserta titled “The Conscience of the West.” The political allusion is emphasized by the poster’s image, which features a highly provocative work with a strong political impact—typical of the avant-garde and protest theater of the early 1970s. It features a black swastika combined with chromatic and symbolic elements of the flag of the United States of America, from which blood is dripping, with the word “VIETNAM” written below. The image directly condemned Western foreign policy and U.S. military intervention in the Vietnam War, drawing a critical and extreme parallel with totalitarian ideologies. 2) TEVERE EXPTO VI NATIONAL EXHIBITION OF THE REGIONS OF ITALY, SECOND SESSION: ART AND FOLKLORE. ROME, JULY 24–AUGUST 2, 1982. Dimensions: 50 x 70 cm. Several artists participated in that event with their works or exhibitions, including the Roman painter and graphic artist Sergio Saviantoni, who presented a solo exhibition.
