Abstract	The avant-garde movement has greatly influenced many artistic varieties. These evolved with revolutionary and critical thought to create a new perspective. This difference comes from creative experiences across many fields, theatre which helped to set a new trend that supports the avant-garde path of modern and contemporary theatre. The avant-gardist theatre costumes sparked a revolution in form and thought, through shifting the stage from accepted norms to new ideas and perceptions that broke with classical and familiar rules. This article explores the contribution of avant-gardist costumes in modern theatre and their role in constructing extraordinary characters that go beyond formal content to achieve semantic and kinetic liberation, whether referring to international experiences or through our personal theatrical costume designs. The leading methods of researching this problem are methods of analysis, deduction, induction and comparison of approaches.
