Produced for the ICP’s theater division, this 1974 silkscreen advertises La Movida de Víctor Campolo at Teatro Tapia. Rosa’s pinball-machine composition fuses pop art, humor, and performance energy, marking a key moment in 1970s Puerto Rican theater design.
This print was created for the annual Festival de Teatro Puertorriqueño, held at San Juan’s Teatro Tapia, the oldest operating theater in the Western Hemisphere.
The featured play, La Movida de Víctor Campolo by Luis Rosario Quiles, was a political satire about modern Puerto Rican society, mixing humor, salsa, and social commentary.
Rosa’s poster transforms a pinball machine into a metaphor for theatrical play, unpredictability, and the game of identity. Its typography spiraling around the composition reflects Hispanic pop-art influences — echoing 1970s Nuyorican and Latin American graphic experimentation.
This piece stands as a bridge between design, theater, and popular culture — a manifesto for Puerto Rican modernity.
