Romeo and Juliet - a Theatrical Renaissance Dance Production
"Romeo and Juliet" is a dance performance inspired by early Renaissance dances from historical sources, such as dance treatises written by contemporary Italian dance masters such as Guglielmo Ebreo da Pesaro.
Therefore, the action takes place in the late 15th century. This is also the time when Master Leonardo was working on one of his masterpieces – The Lady with an Ermine. The costumes, designed and created by Dr. Maria Molenda (Nomina Rosae Foundation), also reference this period and provide a colorful illustration of the times.
Dance, music, and costumes combine to create a cohesive performance, perfectly capturing the spirit of the era. We invite you to a dance story about the love between the famous pair of lovers.
Duration: approximately 50 minutes, one act, no intermission.
