POLITICAL BLOOD

MA Costume for Performance

This project was to contemplate how the Ubu Roi play was situated in the currently Brazilian political situation. The Ubu Roi play has been used across generations to exaggerate and to be a form of rebellion, when people cannot express themselves in other ways by fear of repression they use art. As a timeless piece Ubu is a satire of a man who leads a revolution against a king and becomes this sadist and greedy tyrant.
