Romeo & Juliet

AN ITALO DISCO OPERA BY BONN PARK AND BEN ROESSLER BASED ON THE PLAY BY WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE

DIRECTED BY: BONN PARK

«Ti amo»

Romeo & Juliet is the story of two forces that have always hated each other, and you don't really know why. The important thing is that they don't like each other, they don't want to talk to each other, and they only meet to plunge a knife or a weapon of mass destruction into each other's hearts. They speak ill of each other; the other is always more stupid, manipulated by state propaganda and to blame for everything. Although these two forces seem very similar at first glance (they are human beings, of the same stature and intelligence, with roughly the same number of bones and emotions), the mere mention of the other makes them seethe with hopelessness and hatred. But in the midst of this hatred, something strange happens: the children of these two completely equal and irrevocably estranged forces, Romeo and Juliet, fall in love with each other. So much so that they are once again reminded of love. Power against power, nation against nation, opinion against opinion, hate against love, duels at eye level. Sung in Italian, spoken in German, felt with the heart!

Born in 1987, director and playwright Bonn Park writes and directs plays for the Deutsches Schauspielhaus Hamburg, the Düsseldorfer Schauspielhaus and the Schauspiel Frankfurt, among others. In his writing, he deals with canonical material; music is often a central stylistic element in his works. He also works internationally as a director and writer; his productions 'JUGOJUGOSLAWIJA' and '사랑 II / LIEBE II' have been performed in Serbia and South Korea respectively.
