The dance spectacle by Erna Ómarsdóttir and Halla Ólafsdóttir. With music by Sergei Prokofiev and new compositions by Valdimar Johansson as a radical reinterpretation.

Juliet & Romeo by Icelandic power duo Erna Ómarsdóttir and Halla Ólafsdóttir is a punk analysis of archaic proportions in the form of a provocative and humorous bacchanal that defies all conventional expectations of love. The play is part comedy full of joyful exuberance, part dark and bloody tragedy. Traditional roles are avoided, in which every performer can embody every character at every moment. An exorcism of Shakespearean themes that creates a baroque celebration of the human experience!
