This project included a performed costume sequence and several other designs for an interpretation of the opera ""Rusalka"" by Antonín Dvorák. The first act, partially depicted here, is set in a surrealist hospital, exploring issues of chronic illness and the performative subversion and escape from the medical gaze. The restrictive space becomes material costume with performed agency.
