Romeo and Juliet (Pastor)
''Romeo and Juliet'' is a 2008 ballet choreographed by Krzysztof Pastor based on William Shakespeare's play ''Romeo and Juliet''. Pastor's three-act version is set to the same score used in the Prokofiev version of the ballet. The libretto is by Pastor and Willem Bruls.〔
==Synopsis==
The ballet is recast as a contemporary political statement set in three Italian political eras of the 20th century. Act I is set in Italy in the 1930s, during the reign of Benito Mussolini and the emergence of Fascism. (1935 was the year in which the original Prokofiev production debuted.) Act II takes place in the 1950s, amid the rise of the Red Brigades and political terrorism.〔 Act III is set in the 1990s during Silvio Berlusconi's tenure of social unrest, which serves as the backdrop for the climatic tragedy.〔
The content of the three acts mirrors the contemporary Italian eras. In the first act, paralleling the rise of Fascism, the upper-class Capulet family is depicted with "stiff, militaristic movement", while the lower-class Montegue family is characterized by "loose, flowing motions laced with pedestrian naturalism".〔 In the second act, paralleling the Red Brigades era of political terrorism, the romance of Romeo and Juliet is dogged by interfamilial feuding and conflict. In the third act, paralleling the "social divisions" of the Berlusconi era, the lovers meet their tragic fate.〔 The work is accompanied by a "multimedia video backdrop".
