Love and die.
The fervour of youth, immortality, liberation, revolt, conscious defiance.
Romeo and Juliet are struck by an unbelievably intense, palpably passionate feeling, almost an obsession with each other. They want their own voice to be heard, unlike their parents’, they make lightning-fast decisions. Life is here and now.
In a fictional present, the performance seeks parallels with today’s youth culture, violence and crime. They seek their peers, grow towards adulthood in groups. They seek their identity by experimenting on the border between the legal and the illegal. They rebel and revolt against their parents, the adult world and society.
An inherited family feud between Romeo and Juliet’s families represents the polarisation we see in today’s society. Polarisation is a poison, the poison that in Romeo and Juliet’s explosive, impulsive and passionate short-termism becomes their death.
A powerful and energetic ensemble, great personalities and future stars, will be on the Main Stage in autumn 2025. Romeo is played by Vega Adsten and Juliet by Selina Ukkonen. The other performers are Jakob Bladh, Daniela Franzell, Samuel Karlsson, Julia Korander, Oksana Lommi, Bella Paasimäki, Ingemar Raukola, Jerry Wahlforss, Edit Williams and Walter Öhman.
