Romeo & Juliet

A Romantso Club Tragedy

Where
Romantso Club, Athens
Text
William Shakespeare
Translation
Dionysis Kapsalis

The world’s most famous love story becomes a party-performance.

The world’s most famous love story becomes a party-performance, inviting the audience to co-create, to let go, to be carried away by the music — and to dance.

A party where love and death, kisses and alcohol, violence and tenderness collide.

A night where the audience is called to see themselves in the lovers, to forget who the actors are and who the spectators might be.

From the pulse of an ecstatic beat and the vibration of the bass, the instinct takes over — reason collapses, and the body surrenders to a moment of transcendence.

  • Because at night, everything is possible.

Shakespeare’s words are spoken through drunken mouths and thirsty bodies — unafraid to risk, to love, to live.

For never was a story of more woe
than this of Juliet and her Romeo.

— William Shakespeare
