| The design and realization of
the costumes for Aristofanes “The Birds” is presented as a reading that
treats metaphorically certain social, political and ethical questions
existent in the present day Brazilian society. For this project, two
characters were selected: The “Epops”, that represents the king who was
transformed in bird, and the “Flautist Vulture”, that represents the
birds in their condition of superiority by their indifference related to
material goods and earth richness. For the “Epops” costume, Laura Yamane
designed a fabric stamp representing the Brazilian birds with topical
colors and earthy tones together with Greek pottery figure motives,
binding birds and humans. For the “Flautist Vulture”, Vania Cerri used
natural material (banana tree fiber, coconut fiber) and recycled
material (cloths, jute and ropes), representing the birds iconography,
in which the “rustic” rule in the metaphoric characterization of the
detachment of material life, pointing for a chance to the advent of a
society concerned with the social and environmental perspectives and its
ethical, political and economic equivalence.
