Calypso Michelet’s costumes are excellent, providing a clear sense of period and personality for the four distinctively different women.
[...] the costuming is perfect. This writer's late mother, a professional theater costumer, believed that the costume should tell the audience who the character is the moment that they walk on stage.
Calypso Michelet's designs do this perfectly.
The Triangle Review
Mlima's Tale by Lynn Nottage

As a Set and Costume designer, Calypso's artistic abilities are not only exemplary but her unique sensibility has also led her to uncover the depths of complex modern and contemporary texts as well as the Classics.
Claire de Liso,
Theater and Film designer
The set by Calypso Michelet and Anna Labykina has one wall covered in a jungle wallpaper which gives the play a very otherworldly quality. In Michelet’s clever costume design, one of the men’s outfits that Fauna wore adorns a chair throughout the play almost as her stand-in.
