Synopsis The story of frustrated young (illegally young in modern terms) love and death and the vendetta between two families in a tight-knit Italian community. One of Shakespeare's most popular and enduring dramas it has also been re-done as film, ballet, musical (most notably "West Side Story") and ice spectacular! From Belo Horizonte. Perhaps the Americas most famous production of the most famous play ever, Grupo Galpao s carnivalesque Romeo and Juliet returns to Shakespeare s Globe with its thrilling mix of circus, music, dance and Brazilian folk culture. Romeo and Juliet is a tragedy of love, freedom and death, driven at the speed of the couple s youth. Galpao s famed circus skills are blended with the folk performance techniques of director, Gabriel Villela. The angst and pleasure, the driving force of love, the violence and passion concentrated in Shakespeare s text are conveyed on stage in conjunction with the breakneck speed of the story. Performed in Brazilian Portuguese. Part of Globe to Globe 2012 - World Shakespeare Festival
