Ballet Maribor: Romeo & Juliet, Margaret Island Theatre Budapest, 13 July
- 12 Jun 2023 4:35 PM
Following their highly-successful performance on Margaret Island, the charismatic dancers of the ballet ensemble at Slovene National Theatre Maribor (SNG Maribor) can be seen again by our audience in the summer of 2023 in a production of Romeo and Juliet choreographed by Valentina Turcu.
The ballet’s direction presents a portrait of eternal love sacrificed due to an inimical environment and crumbling relationships.
The production draws inspiration from Renaissance painting and architecture while also expressing the topical, contemporary desire for eternal love.
The hunger for life and the fresh experience of love – with its sensuality, cruelty, and passion – are the focal points of the drama’s irreconcilable conflict, leading to the tragic end of the two young idealists.
Juliet’s recognition of her inescapable and fateful destiny is presented as an inward journey through the murkiest and deepest portions of the soul. Meanwhile, she devotes herself to Justice and Love, ultimately uniting with the Sublime.
Star performer: Tamás Darai (in the role of Romeo)
Director: Valentina Turcu
