Experience the passion and tragedy of Shakespeare’s star-crossed lovers in this exhilarating production set in an acrobatic sporting arena. Crackling with electric energy, Duel Reality brings highflying theatricality to the feud between the Montagues and Capulets. Reimagining sword fights with aerial grace and leaps of faith as literal leaps across the Harman Hall stage, betrayal, intrigue, and doomed love remain at the heart of this action-packed retelling of Romeo and Juliet. This international spectacular has been hailed by critics as “entertaining, gratifying, and a fantastic experience” (Berkeley Beacon).
