Romeo and Juliet

Drawing on an ancient legend about the rivalry between two families - Capulets and Montagues - in medieval Italy, William Shakespeare (1564-1616) embodied in the tragedy of Romeo and Juliet the universal symbol par excellence of disgruntled youthful love. The fierce enmity between these clans is not enough, in effect, to prevent two young members of both from falling in love and getting married in secret, a union that the opposition of their parents and the passions of others will make disastrous. The work, which so fascinated romantics due to the abundant features that, as Vicente Molina Foix points out in his prologue, anticipate and share the sensitivity of his movement, and which has moved readers of all times, has attracted in our time, for its powerful dramatic force, the attention of numerous filmmakers, choreographers and composers, who have made it the subject of the most varied versions and adaptations.
