I was thinking about Yuzu's Romeo & Juliet programs.
The characters in the play are dramatic teenagers. Romeo is reckless in his pursuit for Juliet, Juliet is rebelling however she can, too. They are teenagers who think their love can conquer all and the tragedy is so much more tragic because they essentially needlessly die for each other.
Yuzu's Romeo+Juliet (2011-2012) is very much that side of chaos and rebellion, that fight that never leaves Romeo - the stubborness and relentlessness of someone who will do anything to get what he wants. Yuzu poured so much drama and chaos in R&J. That Worlds 2012 performance is so iconic because he fought and he conquered.
Romeo&Juliet (2013-2014) is softer, that's portraying much more the love story between Romeo and Juliet, the tenderness and passion they had for each other. The fight and rebellion of the two are not so prominent here. This program is tenderly emotional and tragic.
I love, love, LOVE how Yuzu managed to make two programs based on the same story to be so wildly different.
