Born in Milan, fashion and costume designer Jacques Reynaud studied in New York City. Known throughout Europe, he began his career creating the costumes for Luca Ronconi’s production of Peer Gynt in Rome. He started working together with Robert Wilson in the 1990s, particularly in Germany, in productions including Der Ozeanflug by Bertolt Brecht (1998, Berliner Ensemble), The Days Before and POEtry at the Thalia Theater Hamburg, and Dr. Caligari at the Deutsches Theater Berlin. These were followed by Leonce und Lena by Georg Büchner (2003) and A Winter’s Tale by William Shakespeare, both at Berliner Ensemble. In 2011, he created the costumes for Giuseppe Verdi’s Macbeth in São Paulo and at the Teatro Comunale di Bologna. In 2013, he designed costumes for The Old Woman, starring Willem Dafoe and Mikhail Baryshnikov and in 2015, for Letter to a Man, again with Baryshnikov. In 2016, he collaborated on L’incoronazione di Poppea at La Scala in Milan; in 2019, on Verdi’s Otello at the Easter Festival in Baden-Baden; and on The Jungle Book and Mary Said What She Said with Isabelle Huppert, both at Théâtre de la Ville in Paris.
