This poster for Orlando by Sarah Ruhl visualizes themes of identity, transformation, and time through a symbolic, surreal oak tree that becomes a woman’s silhouette. The unexpected pink and green palette challenges traditional ideas of strength and stability, just as the play questions fixed views of gender. A small red broken heart inside the tree hints at Orlando’s emotional journey, while the figure at the base gazes upward toward change. From the crown, a feminine face exhales pink magic, capturing the moment Orlando transitions from male to female and symbolizing the inner reflection and power of embracing one’s true self.
