We love the colors of this poster, and without dating ourselves too much, it does remind us of the old Lily Tomlin routines... The politics of the province of Quebec have always provided inspiration for its homegrown poets, musicians, playwrights, and composers. In the 1970s and 80s (and today!) there was a great uprising of nationalist sentiment amongst the French population of the province who felt that they had been treated as second-class citizens for too long. This social and political malaise was very evident in the outpouring of music and performance pieces - and posters of same - during that period.
