The Museum as a Cultural Hub: The Future of Tradition. Proceedings of the ICOM Costume Committee Annual Meeting, Kyoto, Japan, 1-7 September 2019
Abstract
This paper examines costume design in contemporary Greek theatre over a period of twenty years (1985-2005) concentrating on theatrical productions in which folk dress is a point of reference for the design of theatrical costumes. The paper focuses on certain theatrical productions from the repertory of ancient drama, contemporary dramaturgy or musical theatre, not relating directly to folk dress due to their subject matter or historical context. The analysis of these productions demonstrates that the costume designers who studied, interpreted and subsequently introduced elements of folk dress in theatrical costume had in-depth knowledge of folk culture prior to these collaborations. Such examples are of special interest as they offer evidence that folk dress can provide expressive means for new artistic design in a broad sense - here, through the artistic practice of costume design.Description
