The Birds – scenography and costumes (BDA_IE12) |
||
| I have
designed a stage and costumes for Aristophanes’ play “The Birds”. My
presentation includes concept drawings, technical drawings, concept
models and documentation. The theme of “The Birds” is escapism. I
decided that, since this is a universal theme, the play could actually
be set in any time or place. I decided to use Greece as the setting,
but rather than ancient Greece I chose a modern Athens. Two of the main
characters, Euelpides and Pithetaerus are to be dressed in business
suits. The Bird characters are to be dressed in tunics, with a mask and
cape, in a variety of colours. My stage and costume designs could be
described as simplistic. I have kept the stage quite minimal, using the
backdrop device as a means to transform the stage from a cityscape to
the land of the birds at the turning point in the play. |
