Titania: Fairy Queen is a contemporary reimagining of A Midsummer Night’s Dream, exploring love, desire, and societal constraint through a modern, psychological lens.
Rather than a literal forest, the work positions the space as an alternative reality — a threshold where characters step outside social order and enter a realm of possibility. This space represents divergence: the moment of escape in which multiple life paths unfold, each leading to a different version of the self and a different outcome.
Through costume, movement, and film, the project examines how choice, longing, and perception shape identity. The characters’ journey becomes an exploration of parallel possibilities — who we might become under different conditions, desires, or freedoms. Costume functions as a narrative and symbolic structure, articulating internal states and shifting realities rather than illustrating setting.
This project was developed as part of the MA Costume Design for Performance at London College of Fashion, University of the Arts London.
