As You Like It
In this musical adaptation of "As You Like It," costumes sharply contrast courtly oppression with the liberating embrace of nature. Court characters wear structured, oppressive attire, while the Forest of Arden ensemble dons flowing, earth-toned garments, symbolizing freedom. This visual dynamic, integrated with the musical narrative, succinctly underscores the characters' transformative journey from constraint to liberation.
