Can't Believe the Way We Flow — Costume Design for Modern Ballet in Pavia


Can't Believe the Way We Flow is a show created by Oliviero Bifulco, with costumes by A.D.Deertz.

The premiere is on 20 November 2021 at Teatro Franchino — an absolutely stunning theatre, opened in 1773.

Oliviero came to A.D.Deertz as a customer, we stayed connected, and the conversation eventually turned into this collaboration. He had long been a fan of the Ash Pants — the silhouette became the base for the dance costumes.
