Synopsis
Juliette on the Road is a journey through the nuances of love that Shakespeare has left us as a legacy. It is a magnifying glass that focuses on the torments of fathers and the fragility of mothers, sheds light on the vain dreams of human beings and their continuous attempts at change, pays tribute to the courage of those who leave and the suffering of those who are forced to stay. Seek Juliette: only she can reignite this carousels potlight, and enjoy this journey where Juliette plays at love with Romeo, struggles with her parents’ social conventions, is comforted by the Nurse, laughs at Mercutio and his dreams of love with Queen Mab, suffers alongside her cousin Tybalt, hides behind a Friar guilty of being too human, and flees from an unstoppable Fate. The performance was conceived as a score that combines voice and body, enhancing their mutual characteristics, with the aim of generating a shared narrative that could allow us to traverse not only Shakespeare's text but above all that immense load of experience, passions, and fears on which human beings have been constituted since their origins: our desires, faith, sense of innocence and brotherhood, hatred, and love. Through the body-voice relationship, we explored choreographic scores based on being "off balance" and experimented with words, waiting for them to feel the need to manifest themselves, in an attempt to dismantle physical and verbal automatisms and pursue a lively and necessary action, thus forcing the very field of choreographic and textual choices.
