Critics’ Circle Award-winning company Ballet Cymru will present an extraordinary adaptation of Shakespeare’s masterpiece “Romeo a Juliet.”
Intense fighting, passionate duets and universal themes echo through dramatic and lyrical choreography. Exquisite costumes and extraordinary video projections create a world of danger and excitement where two young lovers are caught in an age old feud. “Romeo a Juliet” is a dynamic and unique collaboration between three of Wales’ outstanding arts organizations: Ballet Cymru, Coreo Cymru and The Riverfront in Newport.
“Romeo a Juliet” features costumes by Georg Meyer-Wiel, who studied at The Royal College of Art and has created costumes for some of the world’s leading companies, including Rambert Dance Company and Australian Dance Theater.
Ballet Cymru is a young, vital group of dancers who are pushing back the barriers of classical ballet. Using powerful and timeless stories, the company challenges its dancers to interpret some of the finest characters in literature.
