Genre
StageIn Verona, an old rivalry opposes the Capulet and Montaigu families. When Romeo Montaigu
and Juliet Capulet fall for each other, they know their love is meant to be eternal. However
they already sense its tragic ending...
Without a doubt, Romeo and Juliet is Shakespeare’s most famous play and yet… while most
common stagings focus on a universal tale of love and hate, there is in Shakespeare’s text
something much darker and much more complex, making the romance only seem like a
backdrop. “There’s a black sun in this story, and this is what we ought to look into”, according
to director Éric Ruf.
