Large, diverse ensemble makes us dream of a universal dance

Imagine a dance – The Romeo – named after the young Shakespearean hero who believed that love could conquer death, a dance that would be known all over the world, although no one would know where and when it was created. No matter where The Romeo originated, leading American choreographer Trajal Harrell brings us a dance that is for people of all origins, genders, and generations. And maybe that is where its story really begins.
