The IP address or range 3.238.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:34, 21 January 2026.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

'''''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.<ref>((cite web|title=Edward Clug|url=http://6-primeagency.com/cms/index.php/artists/individual/edward_clug/|access-date=4 December 2011))</ref> The ballet is a rendition of [[William Shakespeare]]'s [[Romeo and Juliet]] set music of [[Radiohead]]. 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 Kiev 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]].<ref name="pitsburgcitypaper">((cite web|last=Sucato|first=Steve|title=Edward Clug and Ballet Maribor set Romeo and Juliet to Radiohead|url=http://www.pittsburghcitypaper.ws/gyrobase/Content?oid=oid%3A53346|access-date=4 December 2011))</ref>

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."

==Modernized Shakespeare==
The scenes and structure of the ballet do not match the original ''Romeo and Juliet'' written by Shakespeare. However, the conflict between the Capulets and Montagues and the masquerade ball scenes are included.<ref name="pitsburgcitypaper"/> The ballet begins with Juliet waking up from her deathlike coma to Romeo being gone and continues through her flashbacks. The ballet also uses video effects that zoom in on specific body parts of the cast during their performance. Every scene is a recanted memory of Juliet's. The play focuses on Juliet's perspective rather than the original storyline of the conflict between families. Juliet also does not take her own life like in the original play, as Edward Clug wanted to show her perspective after choosing to live rather than kill herself once she discovers Romeo dead; instead of Romeo drinking poison after thinking Juliet has killed herself, he eats a lemon.

==Major cast==
* Bojana Nenadovic Otrin (cast on Premiere) and Tijuana Krizman-Hudernik as Juliet
* Eugen Dobrescu (cast on Premiere) and  Matjaz Marin as Romeo
* Christian Guerematchi/Edward Clug as Mercutio

There are four other male dancers. The outfits worn by the cast are simple, the men wear suits without shirts and Juliet wears a corset. During the masquerade ball scene, the men wear surgical masks.<ref name="pitsburgcitypaper"/>

==Music==
The entire score of the ballet are songs performed by the British rock band Radiohead. Most of the music is taken from albums [[OK Computer]] and [[Kid A]].<ref name="latimes">((cite web|last=Tulich|first=Katherine|title=Ballet Maribor is rocking the Bard|website=[[Los Angeles Times]] |date=13 October 2011 |url=https://articles.latimes.com/2011/oct/13/entertainment/la-et-guidefeature13-20111013|access-date=4 December 2011))</ref> The robotic voice from the album OK Computer matches the robotic choreography and is used for a solo by Juliet. The ballet uses 11 Radiohead songs including "Fitter Happier," "Bullet Proof... (I Wish I Was)," "Idioteque," "How to Disappear Completely", and "Like Spinning Plates."<ref name="latimes"/>

The songs are used to create an atmosphere. The lyrics sometimes match the scene that is taking place like "Bullet Proof... (I Wish I Was)" during Mercutio's death scene. The song lyrics reinforce the fundamental element of the love story, struggling with relationships, however, the music is more important to the story as Edward Clug says, "There are moments when the story meets the lyrics, but that was not really the point. It's the overall emotion they create in their music."

The ballet includes the song "Exit Music (For a Film)" from the album OK Computer which was originally created for the 1996 film [[Romeo + Juliet]] starring [[Leonardo DiCaprio]] and [[Claire Danes]]. The song appeared in the closing credits of the film but not on the soundtrack recording.

===Choreography===
The choreography is made up of sharp body movements. This is supposed to symbolize that love and romance have been affected by "the cold hand of mechanization."<ref>((cite web|last=Zuck|first=Barbara|title=Ballet Review ((!)) Ballet Maribor: 'Radio and Juliet' tells sad tale of cold love|url=http://www.dispatch.com/content/stories/life_and_entertainment/2011/10/28/radio-and-juliet-tells-sad-tale-of-cold-love.html|access-date=7 December 2011))</ref> Common movements include the arching of the torso, the bending of the wrists paired with elbow motions, and stabbing motions of the feet and legs. The choreography includes twitching and jerking motions which give the appearance of robots on stage.<ref name="nytimes-twitch">((cite news|last=Seibert|first=Brian|title=Romeo Meets Radiohead in a Love Story of Twitches|newspaper=The New York Times |date=24 October 2011 |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2011/10/25/arts/dance/radio-and-juliet-at-skirball-center-review.html|access-date=5 December 2011))</ref>

The scenes are structured in a way so that the characters move in a series of steps. First, they begin with head movements, then the body lifts, then the characters weave in and out one another where pairing and partnered dancing takes place. Twitching continues throughout the dance. When Mercutio dies, the last thing he does is twitch. This is the same for the final scene of the dance, Juliet executes slight head twitches over Romeo's dead body.<ref name="nytimes-twitch"/>
