Shakespeare in blood

Laura Corradi, artistic director and choreographer, still today at the helm of the Ersiliadanza school she founded in 1987, brings to the stage in national premiere the show Shakespeare in Blood, at the Bastione delle Maddalene, from July 25 to 27, 2025. 

This new project of hers is born from her extensive training as a dancer and choreographer in France, alongside artists of the caliber of Jean Gaudin, Bruno Dizien, Viviane Serry, and Carolyn Carlson, and in Germany, at the Folkwang Hochschule in Essen Werden under the artistic direction of Pina Bausch initially, followed by Malou Airau and Susanne Linke.

Tormented loves, youthful loves, that arise almost without reason despite the war, the destruction, the hatred, and the tragedies surrounding their protagonists. The story of a modern, timeless Romeo and Juliet, which does not recount the lives of the two families, but the troubled story of impossible loves that traverse eras and histories, entering into legend. A Beauty that remains suspended halfway between tragedy and the splendor of love.
