GRUPO GALPÃO: Romeu e Julieta

Directed by Gabriel Villela

With Antônio Edson, Beto Franco, Eduardo Moreira, Inês Peixoto and Júlio Maciel

Grupo Galpão’s Romeu e Julieta (1992), directed by Gabriel Villela, is an intercultural adaptation of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, a production that intentionally draws on a range of popular practices such as street theatre, circus performance and the tradition of the commedia dell’arte, as well as on elements from the cultural imaginary of Minas Gerais in southeast Brazil.
