Romeo and Juliet

This is a different approach of a moment from the thetrical play of Romeo and Juliet.  

Forget the shadow. See just the sculpture. On the sculpture you can see Romeo, who excists and has gone to Juliet’s garden (you can notice some flowers and various other garden decorations) looking for Juliet. But he is looking for her desperately because it’s the moment of the story that he knows that Juliet is dead.

She does not exist, in his mind, as a natural person, but she is just a thought. That’s why Juliet appears only on the shadow. Intangible – immaterial. And, she has this strange shape because in his mind she has begun to disappear (parts of her are missing). 

Juliet looks angry because she is not dead but she took the medicine that makes her look like dead and is waiting for him to save her… But Romeo has the wrong information.

Romeo on the other hand, in the shadow has been made smaller (both in size and age) in order to look young to manage this situation. He feels despair… Like a child …
