Symphonie Dramatique

Symphonie Dramatique takes Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet and turns it inside out and upside down. Eight dancers tell the tale of Shakespeare’s star-crossed lovers with a contagious energy, using contemporary and classical dance to shed new light on literature’s most famous love story.

The company has collaborated with sound artist Martin Tétreault to create an exhilarating score that draws on Romeo and Juliet music written by Prokofiev, Tchaikovsky, Gounod and others.

Québécois dance company Cas Public has built an international reputation for widening the audience of contemporary dance, having performed at venues from Montreal's Place des Arts to the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden.
