Radio & Juliet is Edward Clug’s iconic contemporary reimagining of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, told entirely from Juliet’s point of view. Instead of retelling the familiar storyline, the ballet distills the emotional essence of the tragedy — the sense of urgency, disorientation and impossible longing — and places Juliet at the center of a minimalist, almost dreamlike world.

The choreography combines precision, tension and sculptural movement, creating a stark contrast between Juliet and the male ensemble surrounding her. The result is a powerful atmosphere where every gesture feels deliberate, and every pause carries meaning. Light, shadow and clean geometric lines form a visual environment that mirrors Juliet’s internal struggle, while the dancers build an emotional landscape that is both intimate and explosive.

The music of Radiohead drives the work forward with its restless pulse, raw emotion and haunting sound textures. The score becomes Juliet’s inner voice — fragmented, searching, questioning — helping Clug transform a centuries-old tragedy into a modern, psychologically charged piece that feels immediately relatable.

Proof is Edward Clug’s return to Radiohead nearly twenty years after Radio & Juliet, shaped by his personal connection to the band’s later albums. Built on a melancholic yet utopian soundscape, the ballet unfolds as a meeting point of inner thoughts, doubts and memories expressed through subtle, transparent movement.

Clug describes the process as sharing his “deepest intimacy” with the dancers, which formed the emotional core of the choreography. Their “dancing thoughts” collide, merge and drift apart, creating a living structure that feels spontaneous and deeply human.

The result is a quiet, introspective work where Radiohead’s sonic textures guide the emotional flow, inviting the audience into a world of reflection, vulnerability and presence.
