Description

This poster depicts a hollow bust of a male human head with a chipped nose. Out of the head emerges snakes which resemble brains, along with roses, stars, and pearls. The background is divided vertically into a sky with a rainbow and a green background with jagged black arrows pointing outward. Flowers flow toward the former, snakes and pearls toward the latter. The text is at the bottom in white on black, black on blue, and gray on yellow, with theater name torp left in black on pink. This poster advertises for the ballet "Abraxas" from Werner Egk.
