Harper says he wanted to use the ‘50s and ‘60s as a point of reference for the costumes. “I asked myself if Eartha Kitt and Pina Bausch were still alive, and they were both my age, and had iPhones, and if Eartha joined Pina Bausch’s dance company, what would their work — and the world — look like?” The costumes also had to be flexible, and easy to wear as “movement is forever the gospel,” according to Harper. On top of that, he also wanted to conjure a cinematic look on stage.
There are so many dramatic themes, it’s no wonder that Harper also wanted to make his audience “feel like they were watching a movie. I wanted to create this classic shot of a heroine in a film noir, wearing a coat, and walking at night with only one street lamp on,” he says.
