DESIGNER UNKNOWN [BUBUS THE TEACHER / MEYERHOLD THEATER.] 1925. 27 1/4x41 1/2 inches, 69 1/4x41 1/2 cm. Gublit, Moscow. Condition B+: creases and minor tears in margins and along vertical and horizontal folds. Paper. Framed. Although his direction of Bubus was not considered a theatrical success, Vsevolod Meyerhold continued to be known as a prominent actor and director at his self-named theater in Moscow between 1923 and 1938. A visonary director who was revolutionary in his style, Meyerhold pioneered the concept of biomechanics: "Its purpose was to widen the emotional potential of a theater piece and express thoughts and ideas that could not be easily presented through the naturalistic theater of the period" (Wikipedia). The avant-garde, yet popular nature of Meyerhold's theater appealed to Vladimir Mayakovsky, and the two collaborated on several projects. Another, purely typographic poster for the premier of the play exists.
