Waiting for Julieta
Cía. Gorguz Teatro & Casa Teatro Reynosa
Monterrey-Reynosa, MEXICO
For years, I’ve been waiting for the moment when I could play Juliet Capulet in William Shakespeare’s tragedy of Romeo and Juliet, but I was born a man in a shitty and sexist country... Finally, the wait is over; today, I am her.

Show based on this shakesperean classic with the main purpose of deconstructing this story, to revisit it with a contemporary critical look. This adaptation is situated in the Mexican Northeast, “la mera frontera”, where we talk about the failed love stories in our own lives, the toxic love and the romantic stumbles in relationships.
Award-winning contemporary piece happening in a 'carne asada'; a mexican party with tacos and tequila, where we mix hints of cabaret, performance, theatre of objects, and mexican pop culture.
'...an immersive experience for the senses. The visuals and sound demonstrate the intersection of American and northern Mexican cultures. What makes it even more interesting are the pop culture references juxtaposed with the Shakespearean play, giving it another dimension to its reinterpretation... ' - Primera Página
