Based on Prokofiev’s Romeo and Juliet, Sigrun Fritsch put on the piece for eight young rappers and 120 young hip-hop dancers from Freiburg and the surrounding area in the locomotive hall in Freiburg. Matthias Grund composed the music for the raps; Robin Haefs rewrote Shakespeare’s original text. François Xavier Roth was responsible for overall musical direction. Nordisch TV accompanied the entire project for a 20-episode documentary on the children’s television broadcasting network KiKa. The shows aired several times on the channels Einsplus and 3sat. The project was nominated at the 2013 New York Festivals and made it to the finale.
