Reusing costumes in film and theatre

What is it about?

This paper is about how costumes used multiple times in theatre and film accumulate layers of history. This is similar to the way parchment, reused multiple times for different texts, becomes a palimpsest. Each time a costume is reused on a different character in a different narrative, it retains traces of its own past. These layers form in various ways, as explored by the research. This adds significance to not only performers but also archives and museum collections.
