Folkert de Jong designs costumes for the Wooster Group

Tue, Mar 24 - Sun, Apr 19  2015

Folkert de Jong is internationally recognized for figurative sculptures executed in the inorganic industrial materials.  He also designed the set elements, props and costumes for the theatre play CRY, TROJANS! The play originated as a co-production of Troilus and Cressida, Shakespeare’s Trojan War play, with the Royal Shakespeare Company. The Wooster Group has further adapted the collaboration independently, concentrating on the Trojan side of the story and the spoils of war: the corruption of sincere love and the downfall of a noble hero. It can be seen from March 24 until April 19 in St. Ann’s Warehouse in Brooklyn.
