seeking dissonances

The (London transfer) poster for the great 1970 @the-rsc.bsky.social Dream, dir. Peter Brook. It changed theatre; my parents saw it & we had the poster...
A theatre poster. Main text reads RSC in A Midsummer Night's Dream. There is a cast list at the bottom of the poster. The main graphic is a circular design of faces with punky hair, as if a kaleidoscope; the circle is divided into 8 segments, each in 2 colours (green/black, red/yellow) each with a face.
