Romeo and Jewliet

Romeo and Jewliet Klaus Peter Wendt, design by Olesya Lomako

Pink Pig Ballet Presents
The premier of an original ballet 
by Valerie Mae Browne.

We set the scene in Vienna, 1938 as Hitlers troops enter Austria and begin their systematic destruction of Jewish communities across the country. Romeo is pressured to join German forces, despite his disdain for their ideology. Jewliet, a young Jewish woman, is horrified to watch her family and friends separate as they search for a means of survival. Jewliets family manages to sneak her into the care of a kind gentile who disguieses her among her family and gets her a job at a hospital caring for wounded soldiers. Romeo gets shot on the battle field, and it is Jewliet who nurtures him back to health. But the hatred of the time is too great, and their love falls victim to its thirst.
