For this historic performance, his Juliet is played by Chanté Daniels.

The first performances of the new production open at Artscape in Cape Town this week.

It will see participants from Cuba, Eswatini, Mongolia, China, and Russia taking part in the five day event.

The judging panel has seen seven individuals drawn from some of the world’s finest dance training institutions, academia and professional ballet companies.
