Mermaid

A modern adaptation of Hans Christian Andersen's, The Little Mermaid.

Autumn/Winter, 2021

“The mermaids live beneath the ocean in a state of unselfconscious freedom until they come of age and swim up to the surface to see the world above. Leaving behind the (amniotic fluid of the) ocean…” Polly Teale, 2015

This was my first project in my final year at University. I designed all of the costumes for an AUB production of Mermaid, inspired by classic tale of The Little Mermaid and reimagined by Polly Teale.
