Coppélia

Conceptual poster for the ballet Coppélia of Alexei Ratmansky. This ballet is the story of a man who falls in love with a doll made by the complex and dangerous Dr. Coppélius. I wanted to express the controversial characters in the story. I used my socks – a hint to a doll accessory - to create the consonants letters C-P-L of the ballet’s title. The rhythm of the stripes aim to convey the bright distinct character of the lead woman hero. The energy of Swanilda is the story’s engine.
