For Hajir’s role as Rumi in a concert-performance where the dialogue is conveyed through music, and the story takes place during Shams’ absence, the costume should blend historical accuracy with a sense of spirituality and sorrow. The stage begins at night, so the design should also reflect this atmosphere. Here are the suggestions for the costume and turban: 1. Long Robe and Cloak (Main Garment): • Colors: • Use deep, symbolic colors such as white, green, gray, or dark brown to convey calmness and sorrow. • The outer cloak can be slightly darker (black or navy blue) with a lighter inner layer (like white or cream). • Fabrics: • Choose linen or matte silk to give the costume a natural and poetic texture. • Keep embellishments minimal, with simple lines or narrow borders. 2. Turban: • The turban should be long and soft, symbolizing Rumi’s contemplation and introspection. • Colors: • A cream, beige, or white turban to represent purity. • For a touch of sorrow, consider light gray or pale blue. • Styling the Turban: • Wrap it in layered folds, inspired by Sufi styles of that era, with some parts left loose to drape over the shoulders. 3. Details: • Leather or Fabric Belt: • A simple, narrow belt made of leather or fabric can be tied around the waist. • The knot of the belt can have symbolic meaning, such as a simple tie to reflect inner complexity. • Footwear: • Leather shoes in dark brown or black, reflecting the simplicity of the time. 4. Elements of Night and Light: • Since the scene begins at night, subtle details in the fabric, such as faint shimmering stitches or matte patterns, can evoke the feeling of stars in the night sky. Overall Feel: The costume should convey Rumi’s loneliness and his deep spiritual connection with himself. The design should remain simple and minimal but rich in poetic and symbolic details to immerse the audience in the story.

For Hajir’s transformative role as Rumi, envision an ethereal ensemble that marries historical essence with mystical sorrow. A flowing long robe drapes gracefully from lush, matte silk, embodying twilight hues of deep emerald and charcoal, symbolizing introspection. The outer cloak, midnight blue, envelops a whispery cream inner layer, softly resonating with the night’s embrace. A sumptuous, layered turban crowns the look, crafted from light beige fabric, cascading elegantly in gentle folds reminiscent of Sufi heritage, touched with ghostly shades of pale gray. The minimalistic leather belt, cinched at the waist, signifies complexity with a simple knot, while muted leather shoes ground the ethereal aura. Delicate, shimmering stitch patterns dance across the fabric like distant stars, infusing a sense of spirituality into the ensemble. Each element whispers tales of solitude, inviting the audience to journey into Rumi's profound introspection amidst the quiet of Shams' absence. This enchanting attire encapsulates the serene beauty of the night—elegant, contemplative, and hauntingly poetic.
