Romeo and Juliet imprisoned by love
China DailyMatthew Bourne's Romeo and Juliet takes Shakespeare's timeless tragedy to a prison-like institute in the near future and adopts a creative interpretation of the story. Matthew Bourne's Romeo and Juliet, a radical modern reinterpretation of the classical love tragedy, is touring China starting with six performances at Shanghai Culture Square from Wednesday to Sunday. "Matthew Bourne's Swan Lake amazed audiences in Shanghai and since then, we have seen the creative model continue in more of his dance theater productions: the traditional tale subverted, classical music retained, contemporary aesthetics and psychological value highlighted," says Fei Yuanhong, deputy general manager of Shanghai Culture Square. Romeo and Juliet, presented by his New Adventures company, takes Shakespeare's timeless tragedy to a prison-like institute in the near future and adopts a free interpretation of the story, changing the feud between two families into conflicts between the guards and young inmates of the Verona Institute.
