In the Saughterhouse of Love: Romeo and Juliet

The Sydney Fringe Festival and No White Elephant Productions presents...

In the Slaughterhouse of Love: Romeo and Juliet.

In the slaughter house of love, they kill

only the best, none of the weak or deformed.

don't run away from this dying.

Whoever's not killed for love is dead meat.

A Dove in the Eaves ~ Jelaluddin Rumi

The production is inspired by the lyrical poetry of Jelaluddin Rumi and combines Shakespeare's prose to beseech the audience to forget judgement, restriction and cynicism.

Rumi's poetry is beauty. More on that later.

Slaughterhouse rehearsals have been based in the training of the Suzuki Method of Actor Training:

This training has been designed to regain the perceptive abilities of the actor's body on stage in order to powerfully enter any theatrical situation. In practical terms, the Suzuki Method is comprised of a variety of exercises that challenge the body's centre of gravity by presenting a series of physical obstacles. This allows the actor to invoke their full creative potential within a given structure. By heightening the actor's awareness of their own physical habits, limitations and energies, the body becomes open to exploring emotion and truth.
