ROMEO & JULIETTE

Theatre performance
An EMERGE PRODUCTION HOUSE AND BUTTERFLY THEATRE COMPANY production
A bilingual, reimagined, modernised version of a Shakespeare's classic. Set in a time where countries worldwide have adopted hard border restrictions. No freedom of travel has seen generations grow up in a world where they only every experience what their culture has to offer. London is the last possible hub for head of government meetings but is about to close its boundaries
as well. We enter at a volatile time where England and France, former allies, are on the brink of a war as they can't make their mind on who is to keep the Jersey and Guernsey Islands . Another strike mouvement rises because of Expats who want to remain in London and created a secret borough called Mantua. The two heads, Prime Minister Capulet of England and Ambassador Montague of France are fighting in court for who is to keep the islands and use Media as their main tool for manipulation. At this summit, Romeo, the
son of the English Prime Minister meets the daughter of the French Ambassador. A story of forbidden love unfolds between those two.
A love that cannot survive hard borders and media manipulation.
