I watched one video, for now, of the German production of Romeo und Julia, and I'm crying.
For the love of everything good, I'm crying.
When I started to write that Fae au I had no idea of where it would lead me (do not assume I have it now, please... 😂), I borrowed the Cat from the Italian production, I needed someone close to tybalt, someone who could act as a brother, I borrowed the "name" too, because I'm the worst at choosing names that fit.
I borrowed the look, kinda, from the Russian dancer of the 2010 French production, Dima.
And now I see that video. There's this Capulet begging tybalt to stand, after Romeo kills him, there's this one Capulet leaning over him, screaming, desperate. And it breaks my heart so much because yes, that's something I could write, that could be a brother or something really close to him.
And I can't stop watching that scene to catch all the little glimpse of him in the background.
