by The 7 Fingers Two households, both alike in agility… Crackling with electric energy, Duel Reality distills Shakespeare’s epic love story down to the core of its conflict. Fusing circus, theatre, and dance, two feuding families face off in an acrobatic sporting arena where death-defying stunts are challenged by life-affirming passion in this action-packed retelling of Romeo and Juliet. Hailed by critics as a “very slick, heart-stopping, awe-inspiring performance” (Edinburgh Festivals for Kids), this international spectacular will thrill the whole family. Runtime: Approximately 90 minutes with no intermission.
