About Fashionable Guan Gong Vestuario Escénico
Inspirándose no atavío de Guan Gong, a divindade venerada no Templo Puji de Daxi, Taiwán, que conta con máis dun século de patrimonio cultural inmaterial. Este traballo desafía a representación da cultura das divindades orientais mediante a sastrería tridimensional occidental. Simultaneamente, emprega algoritmos dixitais para explorar a aplicación da tecnoloxía téxtil en traballos tradicionais bordados a man, co obxectivo de reducir o peso e mellorar a durabilidade. As principais técnicas inclúen etiquetas de tea bordadas, bordado e a aplicación de medios mixtos no diseño de vestuario escénico étnico.

- The primary techniques involve materials and applications of embroidered fabric labels, embroidery, and mixed media. Applying the embroidered fabric label technique to create traditional embroidered lions involves infusing Spun Polyester thread in the middle of this material for effective shaping and support. Digital printing, Nylon yarn, and embroidery techniques are utilized to portray the cultural spirit of mountains and seas in Chinese culture. Additionally, this material serves as a decorative element, enhancing the visual appeal by securely adorning the costume design.

Utilizing digital algorithms and researching the application of textile technology in traditional hand-embroidery works to reduce the weight and enhance the wear resistance of traditional embroidery pieces. The dragon and lion motifs on the clothing are not created using embroidery techniques but are extracted through trademark production methods. What I want to discuss is the new possibilities of traditional craft culture in contemporary design.
- Research

The clothing design embodies the concept of both literary and martial prowess, symbolizing the spirit of loyalty, righteousness, and bravery in Chinese culture. Guan Gong holds significance as a vital deity in Taiwan's folk belief culture.

The aspiration is to break away from the singularity of traditional divine clothing embroidery culture, utilizing modern textile technology and craftsmanship to revive traditional techniques. Creating a unique and narrative-driven ethnic performance costume based on the historical and cultural aspects of Guan Gong.
