La Bohème | Santa Fe Opera | design by Grace Laubacher | 2019
Umbrella with a tube fished up the center rod connecting a rubber reservoir on the handle filled with water to a network of tubes stitched under the fabric. When squeezed, water drizzles over the top of the umbrella. The umbrella was re-covered in waterproofed moire fabric and was fully operational, as it was opened and closed on stage. Constructed in three days.
