The Romeo and Juliet ballet by Sergei Prokofiev is one of the most important works of its genre. The production of this world-famous material is the work of Petr Zuska, the head of ballet of the National Theatre in Prague. The reason for the eternal discord between the Montagues and Capulets is not closely defined in the original Shakespearean tragedy. As part of the production, Petr Zuska allows this basic aspect to be interpreted as the eternal conflict of the masculine and feminine principle - two polarities mutually oscillating at the edge of attraction and inevitable antagonism.
