48 - Romeo and Juliet

Vyacheslav Samodurov's production begins as a rehearsal of Romeo and Juliet ballet, the characters are placed out of a specific country or era. The motive of struggle between the two clans disappears from the performance. The concept of repetition and inexorability of the theatrical ritual plays centre stage: a tragedy is about to happen and the lovers will die today, but afterwards everyone will go home, a new rehearsal will start tomorrow, and the story will be repeated again from the start.
