Julia & Romeo comes to Theater Basel this month. Performances run 30 November - 22 February 2025.
This dance creation by the multi-award-winning Icelandic power duo Erna Ómarsdóttir and Halla Ólafsdóttir is Ballett Basel's first premiere on the Grosse Bühne in the 24/25 season. The two-act evening for the entire ensemble questions romantic relationships and familiar narratives. Traditional roles are turned upside down and the masters Shakespeare and Prokofiev are challenged. The work splits into a comedy full of light-hearted hilarity and a dark, bloody tragedy. 'Juliet & Romeo' becomes a punk analysis and provocative, humorous bacchanal that uses archaic motifs to play with conventional notions of romantic love. A baroque celebration of the human experience.
‹Julia & Romeo› for Ballett Basel is your fourth iteration of a series revolving around Shakespeare’s iconic love-story. Previously, the duo created ‹Romeo & Juliet› in 2018, Romeo & Juliet in 2018 which was nominated for the FAUST in 2019, ‹Rómeó <3 Júlía› in 2021, and ‹The Juliet Duet› in 2022, nominated for the Icelandic Theatre Prize in 2022.
