Synopsis
Freely adapted from Romeo and Juliet by W. Shakespeare
Juliette on the Road is a journey through the nuances of love that Shakespeare left us as a legacy. A magnifying glass brings into focus the torments of fathers and the fragility of mothers, it sheds light on the vain dreams of human beings and their continuous attempts at change, it honors the courage of those who leave and the suffering of those who are forced to stay. Juliette leads the audience into a world made up of memories, tensions and never-ending loves, where Romeo, Capulet, Capuleta, the nurse, Mercuzio, Queen Mab, Tybalt, Friar Lawrence and Parca always await the story can start again.
Look for Juliette, because only she can rekindle the spotlights of this carousel and enjoy this journey in which Juliette plays love with Romeo, fights with her father and mother obliged to fulfill their duties dictated by morality, lets herself be rocked by her nurse, laughs at Mercutio and his dreams of love with Queen Mab, suffers together with his cousin Tybalt, hides behind a Friar guilty of being too human and flees from a destiny that manifests itself in the form of an apparently unstoppable Fate.
