Romeo und Julia


“Romeo

“Romeo und Julia” Gilles Leseine, Jerome Ferron, Stefane Magnier





Lansdale’s new interpretation of the never ending love story of “Romeo and Juliet”, in his contemporary ballet style, is concentrated on the the two central characters. Having cut a few unnecessary scenes, the story line focuses more and more on the star crossed lovers. Philip Lansdale’s choreography is supple and elegant, and is not dependent on virtuosity... an excellent reworking... with humor and exactness, he presents a clear history of the events.
