I am pleased to share my new poster design and illustration for the play "Eldorado" by Marius von Mayenburg for JDP-Yugoslav Drama Theater in Belgrade, Serbia.
The play starts, as the smoke rises from another city saved by coalition bombs, with a graphic account of a city where the government quarter is in ruins, refugees are confined to the sports stadium and animals have fled the bombed-out zoo. But although devastation for the majority becomes an investment opportunity for the minority, the play deals with the mental disintegration that accompanies urban disaster. Anton, an estate agent seeking to sell a surviving complex to his rich mother-in-law, becomes progressively more unhinged.
Behind the play lies an implicit question: how do we go on living when unspeakable crimes are being committed in the name of Western democracy?
Here below, you can see my poster designs from the last eight seasons for JDP-Yugoslav Drama Theater. Some of the seasons had fewer shows due to Covid. For every season of JDP, I create a slightly different look.
This season, designing the posters, I try to emphasize diagonal composition and dark, realistic illustrations. It seems it's not only appropriate for the subjects of the plays, but also appropriate for the times we are currently living in.
