Classical Costume Lines
Set 4 Lysistrata’s’ Mood
By MARTHA GAITHER
Psychedelic colors and
classical Greecian lines of the
costuming will set the mood
for the University Theatre's
production of "Lysistrata,”
one of Aristophanes' most
amusing comedies.
Dr Jackson Kesler, who
designed the costumes, has
combined the bold modem
approach in color and fabrics
with a classical approach in
line to achieve a mingling of
the contemporary with the
ancient.
This is Dr. Kesler's first
year with the University s
theatre department. He feels
that this may be the first time
“Lysistrata" has been cos
tumed in modem colors Also
this is the first year that the
students in the department
have made all the costumes
used in a University produc
tion
" Lysistrata' is a free and
open show with a lot of open
movement. It brings forth
such images as a big smiling
sunflower with a lot of field
flowers, a clown suit, a kite, a
mass of colored balloons at a
political convention, a cal-
iope,” Dr. Kesler said.
The play deals with the
problem of an unpopular war
between the Greek city-states
and with the method wluch
the women of Greece, under
the leadership of Lysistrata.
adopt. Lysistrata instructs
the women to refuse to sleep
with their husbands until the
war is ended
We cannot ignore the ap
plication of modem overtones
in Lysistrata Even though
the comic element was
stressed by Aristophanes ind
the Greeks, war was just as
real to them as to modem so
ciety.” Dr Kesler explained
The rainbow of shocking
colors and unusual fabrics
provide the comic spirit and
modem caricature while the
basic Grecian lines provide
the classical balance
In planning costumes for
individual characters. Dr
Kesler worked with definite
personalities in mind One
character which Dr Kesler
said he especially enjoyed
designing the costume for is
Peace.
Because this character is
basically symbolic and comes
on stage at the visual climax
of the production. Dr. Kesler
[eels that a certain liberty
could be taken with the cos
tuming.
Peace is best compared in
today's society with the flow
er children and therefore is
depicted on stage as such,
according to Dr Kesler. She
appears with the beads, glass
es and long hair that charac
terize the flower children of
today
The biggest problem in cos
tuming the play seems to have
been one of decorum — keep
ing the play within the con
fines of good taste. Because of
the role played by sex in "Lys
istrata,'' "It could have been
played a la Mensky. destroy
ing the humor and becoming
nothing more than a Las
Vegas extravaganza," Dr
Kesler said
To overcome this problem,
an effort is made not to over
emphasize the sex aspect in
“Lysistrata" and refine some
of the language
For reservations and infor
mation call the department of
drama and theatre. 542-2838
"Lysistrata will run April 30
through May 3 at 8 p m at the
