چکیده:
This paper on designing circus performers’ costume, has been written based on a play in which
animals costumes are used instead of the real animals in order to protect them. In this paper
costume of five main characters has been designed creatively. They are: The Turtle, the about to
extinct Salamander, the Ant, the plant and the circus chief. They have been characterized through
costume designing. The circus chief character because of his dominant presence has been designed
based on the circus games style and the plant character is a symbol of growth while the Ant
completely evokes the image of knowledge. Water and fire are the essential elements of the circus
therefore, in this descriptive-experimental paper Titanium Silicate and Zirconium have been used
in order for the costumes to be both fire and water resistant enough to provide the performers with
better comfort.
