In the production of Love Bridge, Tan and her team have incorporated modern costume designs, particularly for the celestial characters.
Zhi'nyu, while still embodying traditional femininity, wears delicate headpieces that evoke ancient Chinese royalty, with elements of both softness and authority.
The Jade Emperor and his celestial subjects are adorned in striking black and gold, symbolizing power and grandeur.
The magpies, who play an essential role in the narrative, appear in vibrant colors and are an ever-present force onstage, guiding the characters toward their destiny.
