JOHANNESBURG – The Geneva Ballet (Grand Théâtre de Genève) debuts in Johannesburg, in June, at the Mandela, Joburg Theatre.
Under the direction of Philippe Cohen, Roméo and Juliette opens on Wednesday, June 17, and runs to Sunday, June 21, for a limited season of six shows only.
During its Johannesburg season, the company will celebrate the anniversary of the 100th performance of this production of Roméo and Juliette.
The elegant costumes and the stage decor is offset by the vitality of the fight scenes, as the 22-dancer strong company creates a dynamic energy and an eye-catching aesthetic.
The company is considered one of the most original dance companies in Europe, excelling in variations of the classical ballet vernacular through innovative artistic collaborations. With an average age of 25, Geneva Ballet is a company that features youthful dancers from around the world and includes South African Angela Rebelo, niece of well-known South African actors Nicky Rebelo and Jennifer Steyn Rebelo.
