After a triumphant success in Paris, Benjamin Millepied and L.A. Dance Project will present their spectacular "Romeo and Juliet Suite" at Forest National in Brussels for three exceptional dates in October.
With his new production, Benjamin Millepied offers a contemporary vision of Prokofiev’s masterpiece Romeo & Juliet. The choreographer navigates between cinema, dance and theatre, reinterpreting Shakespeare’s star-crossed lovers as young adults in an urban environment where social norms prevent them from living out their love story.
On stage and off, the plot unfolds using a unique projection system. Tableaux are broadcast in real time, from unexpected places inside the theatre and backstage. The dancers, filmed live, pass from stage to screen.
Each performance features a different cast, highlighting diverse couples – male/female, male/male, female/female – making this version of Romeo & Juliet a universal celebration of love. Benjamin Millepied thus presents the mythical tale through a modern and original prism, further embellished by Prokofiev’s music.
A classic revisited in a breathtaking & spectacular version - not to be missed!
