Roméo et Juliette

Yes, Roméo et Juliette, this Elizabethan theatre hit, continues to captivate and move all generations. By making Shakespeare resonate here and now, Guillaume Séverac-Schmitz dynamites the legend of the lovers of Verona with humour, fantasy and, above all, a wild energy. A pop and epic adaptation where youth takes power! Let's recall the plot in one sentence: from two rival families, Roméo and Juliette experience an impossible love until death. A tight cast, stylised scenography, a new translation: Guillaume Séverac-Schmitz dusts off Shakespeare's play (1564-1616). To better rediscover its essence, a story of "impatience" specific to youth. This fever is transmitted here via dance, song, video, while a live cello sets the text's poetry to music as a common thread. Taking the opposite approach to Elizabethan theatre, which was dominated by men, Roméo is played by a woman, propelling the lovers far from tired romantic clichés. A modern and grandiose breath revives this eternal and eminently timeless love story. Duration: 1h55
