Jean-Christophe Maillot

Director and choreographer Jean-Christophe Maillot's reinterpretation of Shakespeare's timeless piece "Romeo and Juliet" will be on stage in Istanbul in February next year.

Ballets de Monte-Carlo artistic director Jean-Christophe Maillot strips Sergei Prokofiev's "Cinderella" down to its bare bones in a reading of the classic tale by Charles Perrault that treats the characters like real people rather than fairy-tale figures.
