El Lissitsky's poster for a post-Revolution production the Futurist play "Victory over the Sun."
The original production sounds like an All Star event with a libretto by Aleksei Kruchonykh, music by Mikhail Matyushin, prologue by Velimir Khlebnikov, and stage designer by Kasimir Malevich. The opera, of course, has become famous as the event where Malevich made his first "Black Square" painting (in 1915).
