Romeo and Juliet - Co-production between National Theatre of Košice and National Theatre Budapest 12

Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, is one of the cornerstones of our theatrical and dramatic history, continuously inspiring theatre makers for centuries to approach it from ever-new perspectives and to stage interpretations that engage in dialogue with our present.

The unique collaborative project between the National Theatre of Košice and the National Theatre of Budapest presents a contemporary approach, directed by the renowned Hungarian director Vidnyánszky Attila. This production provides an opportunity to once again explore the present-day contradictions between duty and emotion, obedience and freedom. The distinctiveness of this joint endeavour lies not only in its artistic vision but also in its bilingual Slovak-Hungarian staging. The primary aim of the performance is to reach audiences of all generations, building a bridge between past and present, tradition and modernity.
