EXPO 2017/Creative direction/Costume design

I designed more than 300 costumes for the large-scale multimedia show at the opening ceremony EXPO 2017 in Astana. The design had to be aligned with the script, based on the history of energy from the beginning of the Universe to its future manifestations. I curated more than 7 teams producing costumes both in Kazakhstan and Russia. My costume designs were precisely synchronized with the stage scenery, robots, and artists' performances. I had to design costumes for dancers, circus performers, singers, and kids—all of whom participated in the opening ceremony. This grand production, involving over 300 artists, featured a unique "ballet" of drones and an original soundtrack created specifically for the event.
