William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet has inspired many choreographers around the world, but Sébastien Lefrançois's version is perhaps the most unusual. The French artist sought to find a new and modern perspective on this classic drama, and through hip-hop dance he discovered a fascinating way to express the inner conflicts of the main characters. Moving, surprising, and deeply emotional—this was the result, which made the production a huge success. The dancers focused on the psychological aspects of the drama, and together with Laurent Couson's magnificent music, this production is an intense and refreshing new version of Romeo and Juliet.
