Radio and Juliet

Radio and Juliet is an hour long ballet setup in 2005 for the Slovenian company Ballet Maribor in Slovenia. It was directed by Romanian dancer and choreographer Edward Clug. The ballet is a rendition of William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet set to the music of Radiohead, from their albums OK Computer and Kid A. Since 2005 Radio and Juliet has guested in the Netherlands, Italy, Singapore, Korea, Israel, Canada, United States, Russia, Ukraine, Brazil, Serbia and Croatia. It has also been set on the companies of Bucharest National Theater and Kyiv National Opera. On 15 September 2012, the 100th performance was celebrated on the old stage of the Maribor Opera house.

The ballet premiered in the United States in 2008 at the Pittsburgh International Festival of Firsts at the Byham Theater. The last performance has been in Limassol in February 2026, the next is in Dortmund in May 2026.

Noted for the ballet's choreography and simplicity, Radio and Juliet represents a modernized interpretation of Shakespeare. As stated by Edward Clug, "You could call this quite a twisted version... My intention was not to retell the story but offer the audience an experience from a different perspective."
