Costume Design

During my studies, I collaborated with the Theater in Hof and created costumes for the play "Tortuga." The play tells an exciting pirate story with a female protagonist, full of adventure and excitement. The story aims to instill courage, self-confidence, and determination in children aged 6 to 10. It is a classroom play where the various roles are portrayed by only two actresses, who change into seven different roles and costumes throughout the play.

To facilitate the costume changes, each actress wears a base costume to which the respective costume pieces of the roles are added. For the costumes, I used specially selected leftover fabrics from the Hohmann and Wirt weaving mills, which could no longer be sold regularly due to weaving defects.
