Romeo and Juliet

Author: fan zhang

Performance space: Nafe Katter Theatre

Theatre company/company produced for: Connecticut Repertory Theatre

Month & year of original production: Nov 30- Dec 9, 2012

Description of items intended for exhibition:
Costume

Project description:
The director wanted to approach the show from a modern perspective, combining Renaissance and modern influences to contrast the constraints of societal expectations with the free will of the teenagers in the show. We decided to make the main characters more modern, and the ensemble, servants, and parents in stricter Renaissance costume. They started with jewel tones, and as the tragedy progressed, both Romeo and Juliet faded into white. And we gave the ball scene a bird theme, so each charactor had a different feather costume.
