These Violent Delights reimagines “Romeo and Juliet” as a kaleidoscopic journey of queer belonging, defiance, and self-discovery. Juliet awakens in The Apothecary, surrounded by the wreckage of a story already ended — daggers, spilled poison, Romeo’s body — before the film rewinds into a fevered hallucination that blurs memory and nightmare, cinema and dance.

Produced by the Scottish Ballet and directed by Oscar Sansom and Christopher Hampson, the film reworks Shakespeare’s tragedy into bold, unapologetically modern territory.
