book review
Il a demandé à Julien Bouillon de livrer des fonds d’écran servant d’arrières de scène pour les concerts.
I know that fonds d’écran means background. Does arrière de scène mean background in the theatre world? I'm trying to avoid using the same English term for these two French terms.

: But that's clearly not what is being referred to here, and is in any case more usually referred to as 'les coulisses'
