- “CAESAR” (44BC-2024 AD) is a visionary production that reimagines Shakespeare’s timeless tragedy in a contemporary context. The story follows the rise and fall of Julius Caesar, a powerful leader who is ultimately assassinated by a group of senators who fear his growing power.
- The production takes a bold approach, incorporating a range of innovative elements to bring the story to life. The Soothsayer, a enigmatic figure who transcends time and space, serves as a cautionary voice, warning against the dangers of authoritarianism.
- In a Brechtian twist, the Soothsayer engages in a poignant debate with the modern Shakespeare, probing the conscience of intellectuals and the privileged elite. This fusion of classical elegance and contemporary commentary revitalizes the Swan Theatre tradition.
- Meanwhile, four enslaved voices – Venus, Vulcan, Eros, and Psychae embody the resilience of the working class, their protests echoing through the corridors of history against oppressive regimes and the apathy of the affluent and educated.
