Staatstheater Mainz – Premiere Posters

The posters consider the different contents of the plays and the interpre-tative diversity of the productions. Each poster has its own language of images. A wide range of striking illustrative and photographic techniques and typography is employed to create a poster. Only the theater’s distinc-tive star logo – undemonstratively placed in one corner - referencing the series’ origin. Each poster is a strong statement of being present, claiming, and occupying public space. Independence, autonomy, and freedom of thought are the core values of the Staatstheater Mainz. The result is a dynamic and experimental program, a tightrope walk blending traditional and contemporary elements of modern theatre and storytelling. In a marked departure from convention, a wide range of striking illustra-tive and photographic techniques and typography is employed to create a series shaped by its bold use of an extensive palette of visuals.
