These Violent Delights (15)

Having established a name for creating innovative dance on stage, Scottish Ballet’s These Violent Delights is their first major feature-length film. Juliet awakens from a fever dream. How did we get here? The lines between hallucination and memory blur as cinema and dance collide in a kaleidoscopic journey of belonging, defiance, and self-discovery. In this vivid, contemporary re-telling of Shakespeare’s Romeo & Juliet, without words, fate is rewritten on the dance floor. “A taut, dreamlike reimagining of Shakespeare’s tragedy strips away romance in favour of dread, creating an engrossing and fiercely physical dance film” Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian. This film contains a sequence of flashing lights which might affect customers who are susceptible to photosensitive epilepsy.
