KADR Theater
Dmitry Rekin
Selected for the 28th International Posters Competition of Chaumont Biennale internationale de design graphique 2019
Dmitry Rein
was born in Nizhny Novgorod (RU) in 1973, graduated from the Nizhny Novgorod
Sate Architectural and Construction Academy. He founded the author’s workshop RekinArt in
2006 and is co-founder of the “Strelka” International Design Festival that same

The poster series for the experimental theatre KADR (shot in English) based in Novgorod reflects the hybrid and experimental aspects of the seasonal program that features plays, masterclasses as well as interactive performances.
Each poster
is organized as a rebus, visually indicating the title of the show.
In the centre of the composition, ancient fragments, bearing the handwritten
titles of the events, reflect the monumentality of theatre. Around them, the iconography and the
surrealist colours complete the composition, thus conferring a feeling of
strangeness related to the creative emotion of the performance, its variety and
ingenuity. As in the great surrealist works, each image has its meaning. For
instance, in the poster Shot3, the iconography around masks and silence
introduce the performance entitled “Secret Players Language”.
