ROMEO

ROMEO is a fast-paced, all-male dance-theater reimagining of Shakespeare’s tale of love and loss. In this staging, Romeo and Juliet become Romeo and Julian, whose profound connection and love challenge the world around them.

Through intimate physical storytelling, emotionally charged choreography, soaring duets, and energetic ensemble sequences, the production explores the intensity of finding true love. The score features music by Rihanna, Maneskin, Madonna, Garbage, and The Irrepressibles, blending contemporary popular music with the enduring emotions of Shakespeare’s story.
