Romeo and Juliet, the Shakespearean tragedy that has been told and re-told thousands of times, is finding a new and innovative form in the Estonian “Kinoteater’s” latest production. Rather than actors, the remake is using giant trucks and heavy machinery to tell the story.
The theatre itself describes the show as “A tragedy of motors played out on a junkyard with the picturesque backdrop of a sand quarry”. The trucks, which spin, perform tricks, and, in some cases, fall from great heights, are being used to convey the emotions often reserved for the traditional play or ballet.
