Romeo & Juliet – street theatre Santa Brígida

The emblematic story of romantic love comes to life in Santa Brígida on Saturday, 26 October 2024. The old Town will become the stage for Romeo and Juliet by the company Burka Teatro at 12:00. 

The streets and squares of the old town will be transformed into a Renaissance Verona, taking advantage of the facades and balconies of the old houses. The squares will be used for moments of greater congregation, such as the duels between the Montagues and the Capulets, or the secret wedding of Romeo and Juliet.

Under the direction of Nacho Almenar, the company will present its adaptation of Shakespeare’s legendary work, where the pure love of Romeo and Juliet faces a hostile world marked by hatred and rivalry, youth and innocence against violence, and where the death of the lovers serves as a reminder that resentment only leads to more suffering.

Romeo and Juliet, the lovers of Verona visits Santa Brígida as part of the Mares program of the Government of the Canary Islands promoted by the Canary Institute for Cultural Development, and is part of the Autumn program designed by the Department of Culture of the Town Hall of Villa de Santa Brígida.

Burka Teatro: Founded in 1998, the company stages its own plays, contemporary proposals of classic texts or adaptations for which it has received national and international recognition and awards that endorse its quality and commitment to the performing arts.
