Theater Oostpool presented a new adaptation of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet directed by Char Li Chung. The production combines the classic text with modern elements and focuses on finding connection in a polarized world shaped by enemy images. Chung described the performance as a call to change people’s behaviour and systems, and said it was made with her three-year-old Moroccan-Dutch-Italian-Chinese niece in mind. The production was characterized as a balanced contemporary interpretation of the tragedy.
