night and I had just finished putting on my zombie costume. I was a zombie from The Walking Dead. The smell of rubber filled my nostrils as I put my mask on. A realistic scar stretched from my chin to my eye! I wore teared brown rags for my costume. Fake blood was splattered across the rags. Last, I wore torn darn blue jeans with some fake blood on them. “AH!” I screamed in horror as I saw my reflection in the mirror. What a frightening costume! I grabbed my pillowcase that had a picture of a…

Almost every case is like this, so how can you even believe if it’s totally…

Cirque du Soleil show in constant residence at the Treasure Island Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada. It is one of six resident Cirque du Soleil shows in Las Vegas. Mystère is one of a kind.

tragedy plays at religious festivals. There were two forms of plays that were most popular, comedy and tragedy. Comedy plays originated from many different things. One of the main things was the decorations frequently showed on pottery of actors in costumes of horses, saytrs, and dancers. Another thing was poems from famous playwrights, Archilochus and Hipponax. Comedy plays also came from songs sung during Dionysiac festivals. The origin of tragedy plays is debatable. Some people say that…

actors for the play. The Noh costumes linked to the samurai class in Japan. They matched the everyday wear of the samurai. The garments that samurais wore were characterized as bold patterns and opulent textiles.

Along with that, each role is associated with a specific type of way to wear the costume. Chorus and…
