What if Romeo and Juliet survived their passionate encounter? Ben Duke drops them right in the middle of a mid-life crisis, dealing with the routine of everyday life. A blend of dance and theatre, pitching between grace and comedy, this caustic piece deconstructs the myth without breaking it entirely, calling our romantic illusions into question in the process. A show where love struggles, dances and reinvents itself.
