Radiohead, Shakespeare, and contemporary ballet fuse together in a striking original work from award-winning choreographer Edward Clug.
“A modern masterpiece... executed with complete command.”Pittsburgh Tribune-Review
Ballet Mariborʼs Radio and Juliet interprets the delicacy of love with the cold hand of mechanization in a modern world. With a narrative told from Juliet's perspective, the epic sounds of Radiohead couple with an expressive mix of Ballet Maribor's minimalist forms to intensify the universal themes of seduction, love, friendship, and violence. The electronic edge, pulsing beats, and ardent melodies that inspire and underscore Clug's tight choreography and talented company remake the world's greatest love story into a brilliant new experience.
As the director of Slovenia's Ballet Maribor, Clug has proven himself to be an inventive force at the forefront of contemporary dance. Radio and Juliet has toured the world to rave reviews. Now, after limited exposure in North America, the groundbreaking production finally makes its New York Premiere.
