Julius Caesar

Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears!

Peking opera pioneer Wu Hsing-kuo and his Contemporary Legend Theatre join forces with Zhang Jun, “the prince of kunqu”, for a daring adaptation of this major historical play. This thrilling hybrid of opera, modern theatre and multi-media storytelling declares that Chinese opera and Shakespearean drama are two compatible art forms that remain as relevant as ever. Witness the world premiere of the murder that rocked a republic on the coming Ides of March!
