A reclusive fashion designer conjures a world where his designs seems to take on a life and personality beyond mere fabric and thread. What begins as companionship and beauty soon spirals into obsession, as the designer must confront whether he is master of his art or captive to it. A haunting exploration of isolation, imagination, and the line between creation and destruction.

“The Designer” convinces through its clear visual language, the intense physical expressiveness of the dancers, and a well-thought-out dramaturgy. The piece succeeds in making the complex relationship between creator and creation accessible without words […] a remarkably clear, almost unsettlingly human story.
