This is a show about six days of absolute love. Romeo and Juliet’s story lasts precisely six days, and time itself becomes the main character in this play. The dizzying pace of events corresponds to the sudden force of this feeling — the fusion of the divine and the animal that, in our world, we call love. The briefness of Romeo and Juliet’s earthly existence paradoxically affirms the eternity of love itself. A love that, in today’s reality, disappears at an unsettling speed — here and now, minute by minute, at the very moment when the spectator follows the story of those six days. Our mission is to suspend, for at least two hours, the inevitability of the disintegration of this insane world. This is where the meaning of theatrical reality lies.
