OPÉRA DE PARIS X ALAÏA
Both trained at the Batsheva Dance Company under Ohad Naharin, Bobbi Jene Smith and Or Schraiber present Pit, their first creation for the Paris Opera Ballet.
For this occasion, Pieter Mulier was approached by the two choreographers to design and create the costumes.
He conceived supple armors made with some of the Alaïa’s iconic materials and inspired by the free movements of the dancers. They match the bodies' curves, shapes, and silhouettes. They highlight the movements of the dancers. The bodies are enhanced, exalted, and celebrated.
