Cristian Taraborrelli (born 1970[citation needed] in Rome) is an Italian director specializing in theatre, opera, and cinema.

Biography

[edit]

Taraborrelli [1][2][3] began his theatrical career in the early 1990s. He is a set designer, costume designer, and director, with a body of work spanning experimental theater and opera.[4][5][6]

His style is defined by a continuous exploration of balance within the instability and transformation of the theatrical machine, incorporating elements such as suspensions, reversals, doublings, deformations, disproportions, and framing.[7]

Taraborrelli is renowned for his creative and innovative approach to set and costume design. He crafts visual worlds that closely interact with the music and text, imbuing them with new layers of meaning. His set designs often employ an abstract and metaphorical language to convey the emotions and themes of the work. Utilizing unconventional materials and advanced technological solutions, he creates setups that captivate and engage the audience.

In his costume designs, Taraborrelli strives for a balance between honoring tradition and embracing stylistic innovation. He reimagines the forms and symbols of the past through a contemporary lens, creating garments that not only define the characters but also express their psychology.[3][8][9]

Early career as Set Designer

[edit]

In the early 1990s, Taraborrelli collaborated with Giorgio Barberio Corsetti and Fabio Massimo Iaquone, engaging in experimental theater projects.

Taraborrelli's authorial career became more distinct starting in 2006, as he gained greater freedom in directing and staging performances.[10] In the same year, he was awarded the Franco Abbiati Prize by Italian music critics. In 2009, he received the Prix du Syndicat de la critique[11] for Best Set Design for Gertrude - The Cry.
