Jean-Christophe Maillot's inspired adaptation of Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew won three Golden Masks (best choreographic show best male dancer (Petruchio) and best female dancer (Katherine)) and has toured the world to great acclaim since it was created for the Boilshoi in 2014. Now Jean-Christophe Maillot and The Ballets de Monte-Carlo bring this "funny", fast-witted version" (The Guardian) to the screen, with a fresh and witty re-interpretation of the combative relationship between Katherine and Petruchio as they fight to find true love. Set to an inspired selection of some of Shostakovich's most memorable music, this is one of the finest "Shakespeare ballets" and not to be missed.
