“Locked down by Plague in London, Shakespeare writes King Lear… Over 400 years later, actors living through a pandemic of their own hear of this feat, and decide to perform a compilation of Shakespeare’s plague-related scenes. What could possibly go wrong?

This playful show poignantly samples some of Shakespeare’s most beloved plays, songs, and sonnets. The hunt begins! Let’s find traces of the plague in the Bard’s work, reflecting on our own lives along the way.”

The Costume design proposal explores the past and present throughout silhouettes and materials that help identify characters, tales and different periods through a modern perspective. Denim, as main source, helped create over 35 characters from different plays from William Shakespeare that were played by 5 actors by superposing pieces and accessories to quickly transform each performer into many different plays such as King Lear, Romeo & Juliet, 12th Night, The Tempest, Pericles among others.
