Lampoon / Transition – Shirley Temple takes on the US capitol

Katherine Hepburn, Trump and riots. «Acting is the most minor of gifts – after all, Shirley Temple could do it when she was four»

Riots on stage

Shirley Temple takes on the US capitol. The riots at the US capitol fascinated me: a potpourri of bottomless conspiracy theories paired with some true costume-making skills. We wanted to create an opposing cast to the one in Washington but humor the styling decisions of Trump’s supporters. Artist Luca Bosani works using his outlandish wearable art pieces to create these characters. Each of them is a riot figure. We wanted to explore the energy that’s intrinsic to a riot as well as the power that a silence can have, like the acting in those silent movies. The clothes: loud, colorful, costume-like clothes that showcase the underlying absurdity of the world we live in.
