Houston-based Latinx theatre company TEATRX presents "Balcony Scene in Quarantine," a five-episode web series about longing for connection in quarantine, June 22-26.
The five-episode web series follows the TEATRX team as they fully produce a digital live-streamed bilingual adaptation of the famous “Balcony Scene” from Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. Episode one introduces us to TEATRX’s team and touches on the effects that COVID-19 has enacted on the Houston theatre ecosystem...
“Loved ones are being separated by COVID-19 all over the world. Romeo and Juliet, and the balcony scene, in particular, personifies the longing people are feeling; the longing to hug a friend they miss or kiss a loved one who is self-isolating,” notes Marissa Castillo, TEATRX’s Marketing and Communications Director, adding, “This web series is an exploration of those themes in the world and in the scene.”
