February 9 - March 24, 2024
Set amidst the whirring gears of a giant clock, Shakespeare’s timeless tale of star-crossed lovers unfolds as a bitter family feud sends the pair on a race against an ill-fated destiny. With masterful physicality and choreography, Synetic Theater’s Romeo and Juliet presents a unique and stunningly visual interpretation of a classic story, capturing emotion with every movement.
Nominated for six Helen Hayes Awards and regarded as “fresh and vividly imagined” by The Washington Post, Synetic’s wordless adaptation captures the beauty, passion, and heartbreak of Shakespeare’s greatest love story.
