The Fan an 18th Century Italian Comedia del Arte piece reimagined during a time with little to no live theatre in the U.S. The goal of this production was to bring a moment of relief to the audience. Pulling visual inspiration from this Italian comedy style we incorporated the facial elements of the Comedia del Arte masks and the faces masks used to protect the actors from the spread of Covid -19. The team wanted this piece to have an eclectic aesthetic to match the outlandish comedy within the piece.
