Hypokrit Theatre Company’s inaugural production Romeo & Juliet, directed by Arpita Mukherjee. This reimagined telling of an old classic brought the star crossed lovers to the world of Bollywood, drawing on Bollywood’s elevated drama, song, and dance. With roots in classical drama of the South Asian subcontinent, influences from folk song and dance, as well as globalization, Hypokrit’s Romeo and Juliet harnessed the magic and elevated emotion of the Bollywood aesthetic to redefine perhaps the most well known Western Classic. With a race blind cast, director Arpita Mukherjee explored the rich conversation between east and west, selling out for three weeks in a row.
