Kontrakt

Radovan Jenko

---

“By shaking hands, you become peer-to-peer. It is the sign of agreement and mutual trust and also a way of congratulating each other for having done business together.”

The image of this gesture typical of our Western cultures has a strong symbolic value. In the poster for the play Kontrakt by the Polish playwright Sławomir Mrożek, Jenko Radovan turns this familiar image around and replaces one hand by a foot. The hand wearing a suit and white shirt with cufflinks reaches down to a foot extending from a ragged trouser leg, hence foreshadowing the identity and social imbroglio to come.
