These Violent Delights
A vivid new retelling of Shakespeare’s Romeo & Juliet from Scottish Ballet


Having established a name for creating innovative dance on stage, Scottish Ballet’s THESE VIOLENT DELIGHTS is their first major feature-length film.
Juliet awakens from a fever dream. How did we get here? The lines between hallucination and memory blur as cinema and dance collide in a kaleidoscopic journey of belonging, defiance, and self-discovery.
In this vivid, contemporary re-telling without words, fate is rewritten on the dancefloor.
We present the film exclusively in cinemas on Wednesday 21st October, with an accompanying 20-minute Q&A.
