A theatrical musical production presented as part of Riyadh Season, celebrating the life and musical legacy of Abdulhalim Hafez through live performance, song, and dance.
As costume designer, Nouf Mallawi designed and delivered the complete costume world for the production, overseeing the development, fittings, and execution of costumes across performers. The visual approach drew from the 1950s era, reflecting the celebratory, elegant, and expressive spirit of the period in which Abdulhalim lived and performed.
The costumes supported the musical’s emotional rhythm and theatrical energy, translating the joy, romance, and cultural significance of Abdulhalim’s work into a cohesive stage language. Through period-informed silhouettes, color, and movement-aware construction, the designs reinforced the performance’s nostalgic tone while remaining dynamic and readable on stage.
