"Athias writes that the performers wore the costumes, which he said weighed around 40 pounds, for eight rehearsals six or seven hours straight for the first five rehearsals and 12 hours for the final three. In his CNN interview, he said the costumes consisted of a headpiece, backpack, and tunic. The suits were heavy and uncomfortable, writes Athias in the BI."
"Athias said he found out about the gig through the Backlit job listing, which entailed strict height and build requirements, as SFist reported in January. Athias writes that the performers weren't told what their roles would be until rehearsals, and they all signed strict NDAs not to provide any details until after the performance. In an interview with CNN, Athias said about 40 performers were fired for violating the terms of their agreements."
About 400 mostly local performers donned sugarcane-grass 'bunny' costumes for Bad Bunny's Super Bowl Halftime Show at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara. Performers rehearsed over two weeks, including eight rehearsals: six to seven hours for the first five and 12 hours for the final three. Costumes weighed around 40 pounds and included a headpiece, backpack, and tunic; they were heavy and often uncomfortable, with plastic grass blades causing discomfort despite provided protective goggles. Strict NDAs limited disclosure, and roughly 40 performers were dismissed for violating agreements. One performer listed a prized costume for $5,000 on eBay.
