Program from Jushny's Theater, Der blaue Vogel, 1926
Description
The actor Jascha Juschny opened Der blaue Vogel (The Blue Bird) in Berlin in 1920. The Blue Bird’s repertoire was a combination of Russian folk songs, modernist theater, and satirical sketches, which provided a welcome alternative to the prevailing German cabarets that were more gritty and political in nature. The artwork for this printed program was produced in 1926 for the Blue Bird Cabaret at the Theater Kunstblatt by Ivan Bilibin Yakovlevich Bilibin (1876-1942), an influential Russian artist who took active part in stage and costume design for various Russian theatre companies. Bilibin immigrated to France in 1925 and returned to Soviet Russia in 1936.
