About Romeo & Juliet Suite(ballet)
At Park Avenue Armory, L.A. Dance Project presents Benjamin Millepied’s take on Sergei Prokofiev’s “Romeo & Juliet Suite.” The story functions as a set of coordinates, not a scene-by-scene account; movement carries the relationships, ruptures, and momentum. In New York, where this score has a long ballet afterlife, the work reads as a contemporary footnote to a familiar cultural text. Millepied’s restraint is the point: the choreography trusts Prokofiev’s architecture more than theatrical plot.
