"THE JULIET LETTERS
Ballett von Ralf Dörnen
basierend auf dem Album „The Juliet Letters" von Elvis Costello und dem Brodsky Quartet

Shakespeares Julia Capulet ist für unzählige Menschen aus aller Welt die ideale Ratgeberin in Sachen Liebe. „Juliet, Verona, Italy“ lautet die Adresse, an die viele Trostsuchende Briefe schreiben und sogar Antworten bekommen. In seinem Stück arbeitet Ralf Dörnen mit der Annahme, dass völlig fremde Menschen die persönlichsten Gefühle in den Briefen zu lesen bekommen und nutzt dazu die Musik von Elvis Costello und dem Brodsky Quartett, die ein ganzes Album mit fiktiven, von ihnen selbst verfassten Briefen an Julia aufgenommen haben."

or in "English" via Google Translate:

"Shakespeare's Juliet Capulet is the ideal advisor on love for countless people from all over the world. “Juliet, Verona, Italy” is the address to which many people seeking consolation write letters and even receive answers. In his piece, Ralf Dörnen works with the assumption that complete strangers get to read their most personal feelings in the letters and uses the music of Elvis Costello and the Brodsky Quartet, which contains an entire album with fictitious letters to Julia written by themselves have recorded."
