Julius Caesar
P198384-08
Description

This production of Julius Caesar is a shortened version of Shakespeare's play. The play is performed with a company of 5 actors, as they are embodied in about 8 main characters.  The play is not set in a settled, developed and civilized Rome, but in a Rome that is a young, developing and in some ways primitive society. A society where politics are as vital and immediate to its citizens as the food they eat and the air they breathe.

Modern Western minds find it difficult to take seriously the supernatural elements of this play. So, this production was attempting to conjure up a Rome where the political state, the individual and the natural and supernatural powers of Heaven and Earth are all part of an indivisible process, and hoping to tell an exciting and intriguing story in an entertaining way.
