The top of the poster has the text: "El Teatro Campesino / Presents" the following text is created by the arrangement of small drawings that resemble bones: "El Dia De Los / Muertos". Below this text, the center of the poster has a large stylized drawing. The drawing depicts a building that has the characteristics of a human face, nose and eyes at top, and a row of teeth in the large archway, the building appears to be shaking and the right side of the building is crumbling, perhaps a depiction of an earthquake. In the foreground there are a number of skeleton figures dressed as men and women, they all seem to be reacting to the possible earthquake, some are running some, have their hands reaching up to the sky, while others are dancing.
