Romeo & Juliet is a contemporary dance-theater production set to Sergei Prokofiev's iconic ballet score. Using a chorus that sets up and propels the story forward, R&J tells the classic tale from a retrospective perspective. In an innovative blend of contemporary, ballet, and social and folk dance forms, the production introduces a new theatrical genre to the Harvard community. This is not just another retelling of the Shakespearean tragedy; it's an exploration of hope in the face of doom—an argument that love is the medium with which we generate an ideal future.

Italian neorealism and German expressionism are two prominent film movements that emerged in the early 20th century. Both movements rejected the artificiality of Hollywood-esque productions and instead embraced a realistic approach to storytelling—one that captured the raw human experience. The four films selected for this visual essay (Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans, L'Atalante, Bicycle Thieves, and The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari) are exemplary works from these movements, each utilizing the bedroom as a significant location for intimate character exploration. In these films, the bedroom serves as a silent witness to the human experience, housing raw emotions, complexities of married life and family dynamics, and intimacy in romantic relationships.
