Director Oskaras Koršunovas:

Shakespeare's work "Romeo and Juliet" is usually imagined as an ode to romantic love. In fact, it is a social drama in which simple love takes on the highest tone of tragedy under dramatic circumstances. What interests me most about this tragedy is that love is born and spread in hatred, in the atmosphere of war in Verona. I wanted to emphasize this paradox: hatred kills, but it is precisely this that ignites the spark of love.

This can also be talked about on a divine level - love is born from hatred in order to defeat the latter. It is possible that in fact the hatred itself is born out of nothing. The example of the Montagues and the Capulets is particularly eloquent, because no one knew the reason for the feud anymore. The reason for their war has long since been forgotten. Young Tebald embraces hatred and defends it as tradition. We often foster traditions that create antagonism out of perceived differences and support hatred. This, unfortunately, is an increasingly common principle - to mobilize society in search of enemies.

When staging the play, I wanted to delve into how hatred creates differences and becomes the reason for everything. It seems to me that hatred is the basis of the differences, which creates the illusion of difference between the Montagues and the Capulets, deceives and further antagonizes them. All societies are thus divided.

Love dissolves differences. It is the only one that shows that basically there is no conflict between the clans. Love creates freedom, and freedom has no opposites. Unfortunately, Romeo and Juliet find freedom only in death. Sacrificed freedom destroys not only modernity, which is determined by children, but also the tradition nurtured by parents.
