Although his direction of
Bubus
was not considered a theatrical success, Vsevolod Meyerhold
continued to be known as a prominent actor and director at his self-named theater in Moscow between
1923 and 1938. A visionary director who was revolutionary in his style, Meyerhold pioneered the
concept of biomechanics: “Its purpose was to widen the emotional potential of a theater piece and
express thoughts and ideas that could not be easily presented through the naturalistic theater of the
period” (Wikipedia). The avant-garde, yet popular nature of Meyerhold’s theater appealed to Vladimir
Mayakovsky, and the two collaborated on several projects. Another, purely typographic poster for the
premier of the play exists.
