CHILDREN’S PLAY | ROMEO & JULIET | AIGALEO

As part of NEON’s Community Project 2016 | Aigaleo City (young), organized and curated by locus athens, theater director Dimitris Xanthopoulos worked with teenagers from the 7th High School of Aigaleo over a six-month period. Using theatrical games as a starting point students explored themes love, loss and rivalry in Romeo and Juliet. Their reimagining of Shakespeare’s best known romantic tragedy had its first public performance in their high school courtyard during June 2016
