Melanie Schuessler Bond Costume Design and Construction

Brecht on Brecht
This series of scenes is meant to illustrate the dangers of tyranny. We began the show with a fantastical aesthetic, but the performers slowly transformed until they were wearing their own clothes at the end of the show. Our intention was to demonstrate that the content of the show was very relevant to the real lives of the audience.
