"I AM GLAD THAT MY WEAK WORDS HAVE STRUCK BUT THUS MUCH SHOW OF FIRE."

Caesar returns triumphant from his civil war, but his ambition threatens the Republic.  Some believe that the only recourse is his death, but their short-lived success simply leads to further bloodshed. Directed by Alex Munro, this fast-paced, modern-set production blends pre-recorded videos, livestreams, and live performance to imagine how the character of Julius Caesar would weaponize today’s technology to obtain power through persuasion.  It directly confronts many of our current crises not by connecting its characters to specific individuals or administrations, but rather the power they draw upon from outrage-driven algorithms, fact-challenged social media influencers, and reality-altering generative artificial intelligence.
