Willman Dance Company: The Empress’ New Clothes

The Empress’ days at court are filled with nonsense. She changes clothes constantly and goes on endless shopping binges. Despite the fun and the bling, the Empress seems unhappy.

Could two top brand clothing designers offers a solution for her discontent?

The timeless classic story of the Emperor’s new clothes has been updated for modern times. The performance reflects our media-driven and individualistic consumer culture, where being constantly seen is vital. The Empress’ humorous struggles highlight how exhausting a superficial lifestyle truly is.
