ROMEO AND JULIET

With more than 260 performances around the world and featuring in the repertoire of seven major companies, Romeo and Juliet is «The» iconic ballet by Jean-Christophe Maillot. It has everything: the coherence of a classical vocabulary with our era thanks to modern narrative, musicality which instils its strength to movement, eroticism fighting it out with humour ... and finally a unique way of bringing all artistic disciplines into dance.
