A contemporary dance creation to Prokofiev's masterpiece, this piece, rather than attempting a dumbed down pantomimic rendition of Shakespeare's genius urtext, explores new worlds inspired by manifold ideas and elements from the play, but expressible only through dance.
Two years after premiering in Germany, wee dance's "Romeo & Juliet" went on an Israeli tour, metamorphosed into a choreographic collaboration with three Israeli choreographers: Hillel Kogan, Noa Zuk & Shlomi Bitton, each contributing new scenes, which were perfectly woven into the fabric of the existing creation. The tour was conducted in collaboration with the Israeli Choreographers' Association and & with "A Stage For Life", with the friendly support of the Goethe Istitute Tel Aviv.
