The Sun Also Rises

This world premiere production of "The Sun Also Rises" designed by Helen Huang draws directly from Hemingway's acclaimed novel, translating its themes into a powerful visual and choreographic experience. The design emphasizes the disillusionment and aimlessness that characterized the post-World War I generation, capturing their emotional turbulence and search for meaning. Through maximalist expressive costumes, bright color palettes, and evocative textures, the design reflects the fractured reality and outward exuberance of the characters. This production sought to immerse audiences in the complexities of a generation haunted by war, yet resilient in their pursuit of hope and understanding.
