T JULIET & ROMEO A full-length ballet by MATS EK Choreographer Mats Ek, for many years one of the most important names in the international dance world, has created several new interpretations of classics. “A girl and a boy are in love. Why does everyone else think that their love is wrong? A romantic story in a brutal environment. A clash of people and power. A struggle between generations. Love, hate and jealousy. Who can win?” Romeo and Juliet became “Juliet & Romeo” when Mats Ek staged his full-length ballet to Tchaikovsky’s music in May 2013, and the first performance drew considerable attention, both in Sweden and abroad. “Juliet & Romeo” has been on tour in Europe since spring 2014 and the tour will continue in 2015 and 2016 as well in Europe as in the US.
