A central marionette clown — rendered in cool grey tones with vivid pops of blue shoes and a red nose — is shown with his strings and controls fully visible, embracing the “theatre within a theatre” concept at the heart of the production. His distinctive book-leaf hairstyle nods to the storytelling nature of Chepovetsky’s work. A collector’s detail: the artist’s mark — a stylised “Cč” \/ “CH” + ’83 — is hidden on the sole of the clown’s left shoe.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat makes this playbill particularly remarkable is its multilingual design: the title and theatre credits appear in Russian, English, Spanish, German, Polish, and French — a reflection of the Leningrad puppet troupe’s prestigious international touring schedule during the 1980s. With an original print run of only 2,500 copies, this is a genuinely scarce document of Soviet theatrical culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOriginal year: 1983\u003cbr\u003eTheatre: Leningrad Puppet-Marionette Theatre, Leningrad (St. Petersburg), USSR\u003cbr\u003ePlaywright: Efim Chepovetsky (Ефим Чеповецкий)\u003cbr\u003eDirector: Vladimir Lopuhin\u003cbr\u003eLanguages: Russian, English, Spanish, German, Polish, French\u003cbr\u003eOriginal Size: 59 × 87 cm (23.2 × 34.3 in)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWant to own the original vintage poster? \u003ca href=\"\/de\/products\/soviet-theatre-poster-klowns-smile-leningrad-1983\"\u003eView the original here →\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePrefer it unframed? \u003ca href=\"\/de\/products\/unframed-reproduction-klowns-smile-leningrad-1983\"\u003eView the unframed reproduction here →\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePrefer an instant digital download? \u003ca href=\"\/de\/products\/digital-edition-klowns-smile-leningrad-1983\"\u003eView the digital edition here →\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMake a statement in any room with this framed poster, printed on thick matte paper.
