"La vitrina" (The Display Window/Showcase) was a production by Grupo Teatro Escambray, an important Cuban theater collective founded in 1968 in the Escambray mountains. The group was known for creating socially-engaged theater that addressed real community issues through collective creation methods. The striking poster design shows a coffin-shaped display case containing a rural landscape scene, suggesting the play dealt with themes of rural life, death, or social transformation - typical of Escambray's politically-conscious theatrical work.
