Costume design for An Tain Arts Centre production of "Into the Dark" written by Anthony Kinahan and directed by Anna Simpson
Do you dare to enter the forest after dark? An Tain Arts Centre and Quintessence Theatre to present ‘’Into the Dark’, their first Halloween promenade production in Annaverna, Ravensdale.
Based on the Irish legend of banshee, this Halloween show blends puppetry, movement, and storytelling to create a haunting experience.
Can you scape an ancient curse, and the cold clutches of the Formor? Immerse yourself in the dark tales of the cursed O'Donnell family and bring your own Halloween to chilling (after)life.
To create this costume I knew the director wanted it to be period appropriate so I gave small hints about the horror, misticism, folkclore and fantasy involved on the play, adding details like colours and handcrafts to the costumes. But you can clearly see the reference to the Victorian gothic.
