Kicks off the theater season is the play "Romeo and Juliet"
The Nordhorner Cultural Office is set to open its 2025/2026 season with a captivating performance of William Shakespeare's 'Romeo and Juliet' by the esteemed Shakespeare Company Berlin. Directed by Armin Beutel, this production promises to offer a fresh take on the classic tragedy.
The production explores the intricate balance between love and hate, tenderness and violence, chance and fate. It does not rely solely on romantic clichés but deliberately highlights breaks and contrasts. The origin of the feud between the families is almost forgotten, yet the love between Romeo and Juliet transcends boundaries, leading to secret meetings, forbidden feelings, desperate decisions, and tragic consequences.
Music and stage work together perfectly in this production to make emotions visible and audible. The play revolves around two young people, Romeo and Juliet, who fall in love despite their families, the Montagues and the Capulets, being deeply hostile towards each other. This timeless love story raises questions about guilt and responsibility, the power of hope, and the harshness of reality.
