This poster shows a strange, shadowy scene with two men in dark robes on the left. One holds a book, the other leans in like he’s listening. To the right, a giant head looms over a small house with a flickering flame inside. The background is filled with jagged lines and rough shapes, like a dream gone wrong. The text on the left lists a play called *Ubu Roi* with names like "Père Ubu" and "Mère Ubu"—sounds like a weird family. The price of tickets is scribbled in the corner, too. Check out how this was made using lithography.
