Im weissen RösslThe White Horse Inn

The costumes for The White Horse Inn are based on Europeans traditional costume. The headpieces of the Sorbian in particular inspired me because they reminded me of an old embroidered pillow leading me to use a real pillow in my final design.

As the stage play takes place in a hotel I used old bedclothes as my fabrics, typical Ikea bedding and towels. The colours used are modern: green, grey, yellow, brown and rose. This combination evokes a fresh and loud character which mirrors the character of the piece as well as its songs. My costumes should appear ironic, cheerful and light while also being as traditional as the operetta itself.
