a combination of costume and stage design I did for To Athena’s debut album release concert in October of 2020 Neubad Luzern, a former swimming pool turned bar & event space, with a stage at the deepest point of the pool – a fitting venue for a record called “Aquatic Ballet”.

The idea: a dress that covers the stage & band gets pulled upwards and off the protagonist during the intro song, as the viewer dives into the inner world of To Athena, like you’re being pulled under the surface. The dress then becomes a projector screen for the visuals that accompany the music.

Made from Ikea curtains, an old hula hoop, a vintage (wedding?) dress, grommets and rope.
