The very first premiére of the now independent Ballet Pécs is Shakespeare’s evergreen about the all-time witty woman. Our ’shrew’ is cunning and wily. Seemingly, she is in the background. However, she is the one in control. Our performance tries to depict the relationship between man and woman, their eternal fight to outwit each other. One uses strength, the other deploys cunning stratagem. Finally unity and togetherness win while both parties may feel the sweet sense of triumph. We aim to revive the wonder of the Renaissance with a 21st century form and movement language that has the rythm of the present as well as the spirit of Shakespeare. The stage and costume design and the original music composed to the ballet all serve this intention.
