A Doll’s house, written by Henrik Ibsen, adapted by Tanika Gupta.
This hypothetical design was inspired by literal doll houses; I wanted to lean into the feeling being trapped, utilizing forced perspective making this ‘Dolls house’ feel colossal to the audience and cast, to emphasis Niru’s entrapment.
With the costume designs, I presented them in the same way that paper doll’s would be presented; to lean more into the visuals of this literal dolls house. As well as utilizing colour language, having hints of blue represent Niru, and the frequency of blue in a character’s costume showcasing their closeness and fondness to Niru.
