Romeo and Juliet forbidden love set under the stars of Italy, Verona, 14th century. The story by William Shakespeare told in a ballet by award winning choreographer Chiara Ajkun.

A master in bringing onstage exciting ballets on love and nail-biting drama, Chiara Ajkun has created a new art work that travels through history with chilling parallels to today's cultures.

The love story unfolds in the background of the rivalry between age Montague and Capulet families when Tybalt's assassination set the tragic ending of Romeo and Juliet in motion.

Beloved by newyorkers and a must see for visitors, Chiara Ajkun's ballets are one of a kind and likely to bring you back into the city for more.
