The Witches of Salem

Project

The poster for The Crucible at the Zagreb Youth Theatre (ZKM), directed by Oliver Frljić, is based on a clear contrast between classical iconography and a contemporary graphic language. The visual solution symbolises chaos, collective paranoia and social hysteria, all central themes of Miller’s text.

In this way, the poster directly communicates the core idea of the production: the mechanisms of public persecution, lies and manipulation did not remain confined to the historical context of Salem, but are still present in contemporary society. By combining historical references with a current visual expression, the poster conveys the tension between past and present while encouraging viewers to reflect on their own responsibility within social mechanisms of judgement and exclusion.
