It’s a plot that even the most famous playwright had not thought of. A cat made one of Shakespeare’s most tragic scenes comical. The feline invited himself onto the stage of the ballet dance Roméo et Julietteon June 10, as you can see in our video above.
The company was touring Turkey and performing at the open air theater in Bornova, Izmir province. Towards the end of the performance, a ginger cat entered the show and never left the stage.
And he disrupted the famous scene where, after having simulated her death using a filter to escape her forced marriage, Juliet wakes up and discovers at her side the lifeless body of Romeo, who killed himself believing his beloved really dead.
After sneaking onto the stage, the cat began to play with the hair of dancer Pedro Seara, who had to remain motionless. Ballerina Lara Korss continued to perform her choreography and play sadness, despite the laughter of the audience.
After the real death of Juliette, who in turn kills herself for love, the cat washed herself on the bench, not in the least disturbed by the funeral procession on stage. He even had a place of honor during the salute, in the arms of several dancers. This is called stealing the show.
