Synopsis
The Quebec-based company Cas Public delivers a vibrant and intelligently modern show about the legendary love between Romeo and Juliet. Thanks to its choreographic language that fuses contemporary dance with classical ballet, seduction, desire, and the unleashed passions which drive the narrative of Shakespeare’s play come alive on stage. The famous scores by Prokofiev, Tchaikovsky and Gounod have inspired the composer Martin Tétreault to surround the dancers with a powerful sound environment which follows the intrigue with imagination. The poetry of movement and sound are a powerful substitute for text in this captivating dialogue between the arts.
