The word FANTASY guided my design:
an invented and poetic world brought to life by...
... ruffs and 1600s century styles, padding and hairpieces, wigs, white greasepaint, clowns and clowns...
Leonardo Lidi's unsettling and courageous Hamlet""

"Hamlet in a wig, a tragedy full of fun”

"... Aurora Damanti's costumes are enchanting. They are essential and far from realistic, portraying the fairground characters with grace and elegance, as is the use of puppets to evoke the ghost and the second gravedigger...".
