"Romeo and Juliet" - a ballet to the music of Radiohead

Transport into a universe of razor-sharp dancing, video effects, electronic rhythms and beautiful melodies with a new take on Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet", set to the music of Radiohead, today's most influential alternative rock band. In a rare U.S. engagement, this powerfully gorgeous contemporary ballet by Romanian choreographer Edward Clug, a fast-rising star and artistic director of Ballet Maribor, casts superb ballet dancers that give new life to this timeless tale of conflict, fate and love.

Music by Radiohead, "Idioteque", video produced by Jacob's Pillow Video Intern Melissa Allard
