Shakespeare’s immortal lovers now speak the language of dance in a Ballet Pécs production, in which they express desire, prohibition, passion and loss through movements instead of words. Balázs Vincze’s sensitive, dynamic choreography lays bare the entire spectrum of emotions, from the sudden blossoming of love to the unavoidable tragedy of death. Richárd Riederauer’s contemporary music inspired by Gounod’s classical work sheds new light on the story, while Balázs Cziegler’s set and Julcsi Kiss’s costumes create a world that is at once modern and timeless.
