Aisha and Abhaya. 2019-2020

Costume design, style, make up design supervision for "Aisha and Abhaya" performance at the Royal Opera House’s Linbury Theatre as the first ever collaboration of The Royal Ballet and Rambert, in association with BBC Films.

A powerful new dance work combining visually stunning film, animation and live performance.

Aisha and Abhaya are two sisters in a fantastical world, but one riven with familiar troubles and dangers. Seeking refuge from their violent homeland, they struggle to fight and survive in a new country, in this contemporary tale of hope, fearlessness and love.

A feast for the senses, this new creation by director Kibwe Tavares brings together visually stunning film, animation and live performance, with choreography by Sharon Eyal, music by Ori Lichtik and GAIKA, and beautifully lavish costumes by Uldus Bakhtiozina.
