Event Description
Romeo + Juliet by Medhi Walerski
A first for Ballet BC’s repertoire, Shakespeare’s classic Romeo and Juliet has inspired many artists with its tragic tale of “star-crossed lovers.” Compelling in its timelessness, the work captures audiences with its deeply human story and enduring themes of love, fate and family. Reflecting on the divisions that persist in today’s world, Ballet BC will offer a fresh and thought provoking retelling of the classic set to Sergei Prokofiev’s original score, that profoundly resonates today.
“The final images – their ability to create unforgettable sequences and tableaux through the simplest means – reveal Mr. Walerski at his most visionary.” GLOBE AND MAIL
