Event

ROME is a spectacular seven and a half hour journey behind the scenes of an empire that rose and fell, as if following the trajectory of a prophetic black sun that, 400 years later, resonates eerily with our times. The cycle opens with The Rape of Lucrece, the female body portrayed as a territory to be invaded; a chaotic democracy struggles to emerge in the face of Coriolanus’ contemptuous and exaggerated righteousness; Julius Caesar exposes the implacable mechanics of tyranny; the explosive cocktail of love and politics is captured in Antony and Cleopatra; and the adventure concludes with the legendary bloodbath of Titus Andronicus.

We will depart from ROME basking in the glory of having attended a performance–event that will leave its mark on the soul and the body, even as it chips away at the very foundations of our so-called “civilized” societies.
