CHARACTER STUDIES

In “The Flies,” costume design serves as an insightful character study, where each garment is meticulously crafted to reflect and enhance the character's essence. The transition from initial sketches to stage-ready costumes demonstrates how thoughtful textile choices and design elements are pivotal in embodying and conveying the characters' unique attributes and narratives.
