Roméo et Juliette: de la Haine à l'Amour - Redesign - 2024

To understand my completely unnecessary desire to redesign a musical that is over twenty years old, you have to understand that Romeo et Juliette is my Roman Empire. Long explanation under the break.

I wanted this design to be an homage in the silliest way possible.

I really leant into the sensibilities of original costume designer Dominique Borg, who used contemporary colour and technique and applied it to historical (or pseudo-historical) silhouettes.

Broadly, I wanted the Montagues to feel English in their shapes--Elizabethan doublets, high necklines, and ruffs, in homage to Shakespeare and the source text. They're all leather, denim, silver hardware--a little bit punk with status.

The Capulets would be deeply Italian Renaissance in their silhouettes, in reference to the setting of the play. They're all velvets, lace, chiffon, satins, and gold hardware--giving them an airiness of the Mediterranean while still allowing some drape here and there.

I wanted each family to have a slightly more broad palette than most versions afford them--which is why the Montagues have a smattering of green and magenta while the Capulets play with some soft yellows and lavenders.

The ball scene is largely Arthurian in inspiration--just because I took the idea of "what would the 1500s consider vintage and costume-y in the same way we think of the Victorian era" and ran away with it. There's also some silly Y2K nonsense because I rewatched the "On dit dans la rue" music video and thought "What if the Capulets threw this big Arthurian affair with full elegance and the Montagues cobbled together some gay club outfits circa 1998 fits out of a suit of armour."

FINALLY, I wanted Roméo and Juliette to take on elements of each other's family's style and colours for the end of the play--because to be loved is to be changed.

So here is a breakdown of my choices for each of the looks.

Un Jour: Here we see Roméo in his base look. It's a two-tone patent leather double with multiple zipper details. The peplum is criss-crossed zippers. The wings over the shoulder seams are edged with zipper teeth. The ruff detail at the neckline is also edged with zipper teeth. He has along zipper across the front of his boot like he's trying to be the next Sailor Moon. I don't know y'all. I went a little feral with trying to figure out all the places I could put zippers in.

Juliette is the most juvenile looking in Un Jour. I imagine that in this scene, she's being dressed by her family instead of her own volition.

She's in an asymmetrical, empire-waisted gown that is likely a brocaded or printed silk. Her chemise is a sheer lavender georgette or chiffon that peaks through the lacing at the shoulders and along the upper arms. She has a velvet choker and velvet belt and a heavily stoned velvet headband. Her hairstyling (it would have to be a wig, it would be NUTS to not make this a wig) is an homage to the open-weave Juliet caps that were similar to nets worn in the period on hair. Italy was, fun fact, one of the few countries where women didn't cover their hair during the renaissance.

L'amour heureux: As I explained above, Roméo's outfit is so silly. The wrap around glasses. The one arm of armour. The sheer, stoned period shirt. The gold brocade on the trousers. The pearl earring. The many, unnecessary belts. Bless this mess. It's also a cheeky little nod to Baz Lurhmann's Romeo + Juliet.

Juliette is, ostensibly, cosplaying as Guinevere or Lady Macbeth or Ophelia or any number of Middle Ages women. The ball is the Capulet's opportunity to really sell their daughter as marriage material so I wanted the look to feel bridal, hence the veil. I wanted to give reference to exaggerated surcote sleeves without actually doing them, hence the sleeve-into-glove and bow detailing with trails down to the floor. There is also a hint of yellow chemise underneath, which is actually just her Le balcon look underdressed for ease of the quick change (yes, I did think about this.) The dress is velvet with one panel of lace in-set into the underskirt. The bows are satin-face organza.

Le balcon: Romeo would change into his base again (during Le Poète). Juliette is in a simple yet totally impractical sheer chemise + slip combo. I wanted this soft yellow for this sequence because I always think about the lines "O she doth teach the torches to burn bright!" and "But soft! What light through yonder window breaks?/It is the east and Juliet is the sun" when it comes to describing her. The chemise would likely be a chiffon, while the slip would be silk.

Aimer: I say this with my whole chest--I hate how they changed the palette for Aimer in the 2010 production. I want my lovers soft and angelic and matching in this moment of union. Here we see a bit more of Romeo's lace shirt--his sleeves are laced like Juliette's in the first look. His doublet, trouser, boot combo are off-white leather in homage to the original production. Juliette's dress has a similar train length to her ball look (again, bridal) and we see the neckline creep up into a ruff (Elizabethan, rather than Italian). Lots of sheer net and lace with cream bridal satin as a skirt. Tiered sleeves. A little circlet on her head.

Le poison: Honestly? Just wanted her to have another outfit change before her death dress as a transitional choice. There's so much more of the purple in this look because it's going to take us into the blue elements of the final dress.

La mort de Roméo/Juliette: Again. To be loved is to be changed. Juliette has a dropped waistline, a high neckline and ruff, and a heart shaped cut-out detail (see: boob window). She's straight up in blue, and all the sweet and soft pinks of her youth are gone. Romeo has lost his high neckline, ruff, wins, and peplum in favour of a shorter Italian silhouette. He's asymmetrical (a call-back to Juliette's asymmetry) and all the edging detail is done in red. Mantua as a setting is patchworked, torn, and dirty, so I imagine the doublet is pieced together from scraps of jersey (so it's drippy and sad and hangs off him in a lovely manner).

Me: [lying on the therapist couch] So you know how Shakespeare’s R&J has scenes and characters that mirror each other and the theme of doubles (two lovers, two houses, the same number of deaths on each side, etc.)? RetJ is also structured by two, except with mirror songs. Et Voilà Qu’Elle Aime and Avoir Une Fille are the most obvious, of course, but there is also On Dit Dans La Rue (Romeo defending/ proclaiming his love for Juliet to his friends) and Le Poète (Juliette defending/proclaiming her love for Romeo to the Poet). But I think I’ve just discovered another mirror song pair: Les Rois du Monde and Le Pouvoir. LRdM is about youths scorning the adults’ obsession with power while Le Pouvoir is about obsession with power—and of course, the Prince would definitely be considered a king of the world. Revival RetJ kind of gestures at this by having the Prince himself sing the first two lines of Benvolio’s verse (“Kings of the world do what they like / They have everyone around them, but they are alone”) and laughing at it. That’s why LRdM is essentially not hypocritical because the youths engage in the feud in a different way and for different reasons (machismo, coming-of-age stuff) than the adults (power games, politics). I think that’s also why Le Pouvoir has been retained in recent productions—as an Act 2 answer to the youthful idealism of Act 1. I don’t know, does this make sense?

Therapist: We’re going to need a few more sessions.

One of my favorite things about shinee (and being a new-ish shawol, or at least since 2020) is how I will hear a song of theirs I haven't heard before and be like "surely this amazing, vocally-intense jam is from one of their later albums," then I look down at the album art and, no, it's from their first or second album. They have just always been supremely talented, slightly Extra performers. From the very beginning.

#like romeo + juliette??? being on their 2nd mini album is INSANE hello????? #shinee #shawol #love's way??? Y SI FUERA ELLA???? #it's wild.

The Secret Shangahi Universe

When Stephen Marche said that "Shakespeare is better in English but he's willing to negotiate," he was talking about the English language. Chloe Gong's Secret Shanghai universe takes that Marche quote and extends it to show that Shakespeare might have started in England, but he is just as good if not better in other places. Shakespeare in Shanghai worked beautifully, and Gong's characters are clear, complex, and compelling.

Juliette Cai and Roma Montagova low-key mix the red and white roses of the Yorks and Lancasters with the Capulets and Montagues as the heirs apparent to the Sacrlet Gang and White Flowers, respectively. And as a sidebar...I know that Romeo and Juliet is set up to translate to warring gangs really easily, but I think now everyone has done it? Like Hollywood has done it, Bollywood has done it, and now the book world has done it. That's a lot of gangsters...

Roma and Juliette also get a delightful mini-story in novella form in Last Violent Call, but so do Benedikt and Marshall! One of the things I love about Gong's Shanghai Secrets universe is that while the straight couples in Shakespeare are present, she also includes couples of other sexual orientations and identities--and celebrates them. They get time and space to be themselves, they are accepted, loved, and valued, and they live and thrive at the end of the story. There are no buried gays in the Shanghai Secrets Universe.

We also get some fantastic transgender representation with Celia Lang, and her relationship and romance with Oliver was the STANDOUT romantic subplot in the entire universe for me. They are awkward and adorable, and they SO CLEARLY love each other that honestly it's amazing how long it took for them to get on the same page about it. Although in fairness, being communist spies would make a romantic relationship fairly challenging, especially with siblings who are nationalist spies.

Which brings us to the As You Like It-inspired Foul Lady Fortune and Foul Heart Huntsman. Names and identities in spy stories are complex, and they get even more complex when you're also dealing with shifting identities from parents and shifting national loyalties and influences, so whether you're calling the protagonists by their code names, Chinese names, or anglicized names, Rosalind and Orion are complicated figures who get shuttled together by a fake marriage trope and then just...roll with it. Honestly, Rosalind and Orion are an incredible pair, and reading them was never not fun.

No spoilers here, because overall my recommendation for this series is GO READ IT. Like right now. I'll wait.
