“L'ENFANT ET LES SORTILÈGES“

costumes and setting created for an opera
2022

UN PÂTRE & UNE PASTOURELLE

These costumes were created for the performances of Ravel's opera "L'enfant et les sortilèges" interpreted by the Lucerne School of Music. I had the opportunity to create costumes for the shepherds, a melancholic and romantic couple. In the piece "Adieu, pastourelle, pastoureaux adieu," it is the shepherds surrounded by their sheep who lead the dance. The waistcoat and dress are made of different laces and veils, virgin wool, and chain stitch embroideries sewn with an old Singer embroidery machine.

UN CHAT & UNE CHATTE

LA TENTURE

The playful cat and catess were portrayed with velvet costumes on which a semblance of multicolored fur is painted.

The backdrop (1m50x6m) is inspired by the appearance of old wallpaper and drawings that the child could have drawn.
