This captivating vintage 1970s Polish theatrical poster was designed by renowned artist Marian Stachurski for the production "Zaczarowany Świat Chagalla" (The Enchanted World of Chagall) at the State Jewish Theater (Państwowy Teatr Żydowski im. E.R. Kamińskiej) in Warsaw, directed by Szymon Szurmiej. The striking avant-garde composition heavily borrows from Marc Chagall’s signature dreamlike iconography, featuring a surreal central hybrid figure combining a serene blue human face and a vibrant rooster with a brilliant red comb. Atop the figure's head rests an whimsical cluster of village houses, rooftops, and a ladder, evoking the nostalgic atmosphere of Eastern European shtetl life. Set against a bold blue and white background with dynamic torn-edge borders, the poster features stylized typography across the top and Yiddish script along the lower margin, perfectly illustrating the celebrated creative energy of the Polish Poster School.

The poster features the printed signature "M. Stachurski" along the left edge of the central artwork matrix. The piece is presented under glass and is housed in a sleek, minimalist black finished metal poster frame.
