The Romeo

In this strange ritual, the “Romeo” travels through time to the present day. It’s a dance that seems familiar to everyone, though no one knows exactly where it comes from—a dance from the dawn of time and of the future.A flurry of costumed figures appear in procession, a motley crew united by this dance that blurs boundaries, mixes origins, and conflates eras. Taking the audience on a thrilling musical journey, Harrell and his magnificent cast evoke the finesse of Isadora Duncan, the darkness of Butoh, and the energy of a voguing runaway in a sensual ode to freedom.
