Sophie
Reble Costume designer

Sophie Reble is a freelance costume designer for music and spoken theatre, performance, dance and international film productions. Her work is characterised by a subtle examination of the contemporary, as well as a fragile, hierarchy-free collage of everyday clothing and archaic poetic elements. Her aim is to create subjects and bodies with which the audience can identify, resulting in an active space for negotiation. She studied costume design with Prof. Florence von Gerkan at the Berlin University of the Arts and has worked with directors and choreographers such as Ivna Žic, Laurent Chétouane, Johannes Holmen Dahl, Bastian Kraft, Mirja Biel, Nicolas Stemann, Stephan Stock, Annina Machaz, Teresa Vittucci and Leonie Böhm, among others, at the Schauspielhaus Zürich, the Schauspielhaus Zurich and the Schauspielhaus Berlin.at Schauspielhaus Zürich, HAU Berlin, Dramaten Stockholm, the Bavarian State Opera, Theater Neumarkt, Thalia Theatre Hamburg and the Salzburg Festival, among others. Since 2021, she has had an ongoing collaboration with the Hora Theatre. Among other things, she created the costumes for ‹Planet Hora, SACRE!› (Swiss Dance Days 2024) and ‹Riesenhaft in Mittelerde™› (Berliner Theatertreffen 2024). In film, she created the costumes for ‹99moons› by Jan Gassmann, ‹Don´t let the sun (catch you crying)› by Jacqueline Zünd, ‹Sarah joue un loup garou› by Katharina Wyss and ‹8 Tage im August› by Samuel Perriard, among others. ‹Gesellschaft mit besonderer Hingabe (GmbH)› is her first work at Theater Basel.
