Duel Reality, a 7 Fingers circus production with a Romeo and Juliet theme, at the Old Globe in San Diego. Great show! I had seen one of their productions in Boston a few years ago - "Reversible" in 2017 - which was cool, but I think I liked this one more. Nice use of Prokofiev, some good original music apparently not available anywhere online, clever framing and choreography of the acts. Which included some very dramatic Chinese pole, juggling of balls and clubs, hooping, some mesmerizing light-up diabolo, chains, Romeo and Juliet's first duet done as acrobalance/hand to hand (some really cool moves there), Tybalt and Mercutio's duel done as teeterboard (the climax of the show), and a second duet for Romeo and Juliet on static trapeze that involved a lot of throwing/passing Juliet between some bases on the floor and Romeo up on the trapeze. Neat stuff. We had passed on seeing it Boston in February but I'm glad to have seen it after all.
