This paper on designing circus performers’ costume, has been written based on a play in whichanimals costumes are used instead of the real animals in order to protect them. In this papercostume of five main characters has been designed creatively. They are: The Turtle, the about toextinct Salamander, the Ant, the plant and the circus chief. They have been characterized throughcostume designing. The circus chief character because of his dominant presence has been designedbased on the circus games style and the plant character is a symbol of growth while the Antcompletely evokes the image of knowledge.
