"Théâtre de Bordeaux - on joue la tragédie" is a satirical lithograph by Honoré Daumier, created in 1871. It depicts a theatrical performance in Bordeaux, France, with a single actor standing above a fallen figure, symbolizing the dramatic state of French politics during the Franco-Prussian War. Daumier's sharp line work and caricature-like figures highlight the absurdity of the situation, while the audience below underscores the public's engagement with the political theater.
