“Scenic clothing is like a second skin for an actor”. Alexandr Tairov.
Scenic clothing, together with characterization, are tools wich may help the actors to get inside their roles and which, put to good use, give them the power to lead the audience to the catharsis. This is why it is so important that it is well documented, so they will not be anachronistic errors and they will keep in line with the scenography.
