Romeo & Julia
In this world-renowned play full of family feuds, with the vibe of a dark rave party, dance continually propels the narrative forward. What if your great love chooses a path you cannot follow? Can you still escape fate and build your own life?
-|-
The creators are crafting a fresh, contemporary universe, inspired by the key moments from Romeo & Juliet. This version is packed with street dance from 'golden boy' choreographer Shailesh Bahoran of Illusionary Rockaz Company. Written by promising writer Melissa Knollenburg and directed by renowned director Noël Fischer (Trojan Wars, QUEER PLANET).
Noël Fischer about Romeo & Juliet
"Struggling with tradition, choosing your own path apart from family expectations, and experiencing intense emotions: it's no coincidence that the story of Romeo & Juliet provides fantastic material. In addition to Shakespeare, our sources of inspiration also include street dance and Bollywood culture, of which I am a big fan."
