Description As much a case of 'lend me your eyes' as 'lend me your ears,' Giulio Cesare is a dark, powerful mix of theatrical and multimedia performance from the enfant terrible of European theatre, director Romeo Castellucci. Rome's statues come to life, as Shakespeare meets the Latin historians in an examination of the power of rhetoric and the rhetoric of power. Loosely based on Shakespeare's Julius Caesar, this stylish and disturbing piece of theatre will be controversial. A unique opportunity to see the work of one of the most celebrated artists working in European theatre today.
