Abstract

Literature is an art that has found expression in other disciplines such as dance, particularly ballet, and music. But, how is it that even without relying on a language based on verbal communication, they managed to "speak" to their audience and convey the same story depicted on paper? In this research, from the renowned "Balcony Scene" of the Shakespearean tragedy Romeo and Juliet, we examine the process of transformation from narrative discourse to dance and musical discourse. Said transition is carried out through a shift of signs and an established network of interconnected sensations in the exploration of the world that opens from the stage.
