About the Item
This striking original poster from the early 1930s advertises the spectacle of Teseo, a theatrical or circus-style performance that evokes the grandeur and drama of classical mythology. Created by the artist Nicolitch, the image captures a powerful visual moment: a nearly sculptural figure of a man hoisting another aloft in a dynamic act of acrobatic prowess and control.
Rendered in bold tones of ochre and deep crimson, the poster channels the energy of Art Deco aesthetics—geometric precision, stylized musculature, and theatrical flair—making it both a promotional piece and a work of art. The figures appear on a raised plinth, emphasizing their statuesque quality and recalling the mythic Theseus of ancient legend, now reimagined in a modern performance context.
The bold typography of “TESEO” arcs dramatically above the action, reinforcing the commanding energy of the composition. With its velvet-like background curtain and spotlighted stage, this piece evokes the glamour of interwar entertainment—whether in the circus ring, avant-garde theatre, or early bodybuilding showcases.
