This fictional theatre poster concept was inspired by Johann Wolfgang Goethe's tragedy, Faust. In Faust's study, the poodle transforms into the devil. Faust makes an arrangement with the devil: he will do everything that Faust wants while he is here on Earth, and in exchange Faust will serve the devil in Hell. Faust has to sign this pact with his blood. The illustration deals with the act of signing the devils contract.
