That US producers, caught in the Ballet «Romeo and Juliet»? Above all the first-rate music by Prokofiev and dramaturgical basis Shakespeare tragedy. In this composition, in our view, the ingeniously solved not only the theme of love, but the theme of hatred. This, most modern in its philosophy. Traditions, conventions, biases and today can be an obstacle for people communicate among themselves, and sometimes lead to tragedy.

For the Ballet Prokofiev's "Romeo and Juliet" has been accessed many choreographers, stage history of this work is extensive and interesting. In their work on setting together with the conductor performance e. Kolobovym sought to return the Ballet Theatre score composer in its copyright statement. This also applies to the orchestration, and restoring the cuts, and removing duplicates from the score, which it supplies, and violate its integrity.

Second, what we have tried to work on the show, is that the Ballet was understandable to viewers without reading the libretto to the viewers empathized with heroes and not unscrambled at the Mise, not searched for in its memory mappings from the original source. In the drama many narrative passages are explained in the text, we can solve them only by multifaceted choreography, and whether it is us – the audience to judge.

And one more thing I want to mention. We are convinced that Shakespeare should be put in šekspirovski, while maintaining the style of the era with its juiciness, emotionality. All this dictates the figurative performance solution. As an artist and design. Sumbatašvili and in its plastic reading Ballet we prudish compared traditional fathers Capulets and Montagues, mundane bytovizm nurse and servants and romantic poetry of the main characters.

A big role as full-fledged actor, we give to the people. We want to make the viewer's sympathy to each character infatuated, sympathetically treated as to the death of Mercutio and the deaths of "noble" of Tybalt, as the suffering of parents of Romeo and Juliet, and the tragic death of young heroes. They all are, in our opinion, deserve love, everything they could love each other, but militant aloofness, weigh the conventions, biases have prevented them to connect.
