This poster shows a bold, colorful design with a split globe at its center. The top half is green and labeled "СВЕТ" (light), while the bottom half is orange and marked "СТАРЫЙ" (old). Red lines cut through the globe like rays. Around it, text in Russian advertises a play called *"Мистерия-Буфф"* (Mistery-Buff). The poster mixes sharp angles with rough watercolor brushstrokes. The words promise a show about revolution, with tickets available for two days. The artist’s name appears at the bottom. Look up Vladimir Mayakovsky to see more of his bold, political art.
