Costume design for Die Zauberflöte (The Magic Flute)
Magic Flute is an opera adaptation by Yuval Sharon and was staged at the State Opera in Berlin – the first new production there for twenty-five years.
Belgian fashion designer Walter Van Bierendonck designed the set for the production, which included a magical collection of puppets floating from the ceiling as if being played with in real time.
The designer studied the history of puppet design, drawing on a range of influences from Bauhaus performance attire to puppetry arts from ancient Egypt.
