VERONA

These violent delights have violent ends

Overview

“Two households, both alike in dignity. In fair Verona, where we lay our scene.” Verona is watched over by two gangs that carry on an old rivalry, hatred has become part of the landscape, something inherited, silent, yet always lurking. On a night that seems ordinary, Capulet and Montague lock eyes as if they had always been waiting for each other. The love that is born between them is not a choice, but destiny. Inspired by William Shakespeare’s tragedy Romeo and Juliet, VERONA offers a contemporary and intense reimagining: two young lovers face not only their families’ disputes but also a fate shaped by invisible and spiritual forces. A love that does not happen within time, but against it.
