In William Shakespeare’s drama Romeo and Juliet, the power of love allows two young people to transcend ordinary human limitations. Thanks to Sergei Prokofiev’s music, the star-crossed lovers have conquered the ballet stage. Cathy Marston brings the world’s most famous love story to the stage with the Ballett Zürich, presenting a world of contrasts in which, in the blink of an eye, everything can be turned on its head: around the next corner, either the love of your life awaits you – or death.
