With the help of icons like Kristen Stewart, Yara Shahidi and Emma Watson.
In addition to the photography, Roversi also created a short film in which each star reads Juliet’s lines from the play. Ever the iconoclast, Kristen Stewart decided to read a bit of Romeo’s part as well. “There are Juliets absolutely everywhere, and also I feel like I am Romeo, I am Juliet,” she said in a behind-the-scenes video. Over the course of the six-month shoot, Roversi also asked each of the eight stars a series of questions about love, romance and loss.
Indya Moore, a transgender model and actor, spoke of how she sees the tragedy of Romeo and Juliet’s love reflected in the trans community’s fight for love and acceptance. “The politics around, like, loving trans people, it reminds me of Romeo and Juliet. It symbolizes prejudice. It symbolizes violence around love,” she, going on to add, “I think we trespass convention when we create a black Juliet. I think this trespasses convention because the conventional Romeo and Juliet are a white couple. So when you make them black, you’re trespassing convention. When you make Juliet trans you trespass convention, because Juliet was not trans.
