I am pleased to inform you that on April 24th, FLUID Design Forum was opening “Mirko Ilić: Prologue,” an exhibition at the FLUID Expo featuring my theater posters from the JDP-Yugoslav Drama Theatre. The show is located at Cetinje, FLU Cetinje, Galerija A0, and will run from, April 24th, to May 24th, 2026.
'If a theater performance represents a director’s explication of a given theme and dramatic text, then the theater poster can be seen as an interpretation of that same theme, the dramatic text, and the director’s and actors’ interpretation itself. Therefore, we have chosen a theatrical term for the title of the exhibition, which guides us into the plot and introduces us to the theme and characters. As with a prologue, through the design of these posters, Mirko Ilić acts as a storyteller, providing a unique visual introduction that prepares us for the story that follows.
For nine seasons, he has been designing posters for performances at the Yugoslav Drama Theatre. Each season is stylistically distinct, and each poster is a “prologue” in its own right; and yet, they all form a cohesive whole that showcases a diversity of expression, clear, consistent authorial vision, skillfully blending illustration and typography. This exhibition is an opportunity to see most of them in one place.’
