Shall Rome stand under one man’s awe?”

Oceans rise, empires fall, and the history of Julius Caesar, his assassination, and the fall of the Roman Republic seems more poignant now than ever.

Painted on a canvas of absolute power, unquestioning loyalty, and escalating violence, Hawke’s Bay Youth Theatre Toi Whakaari Taiohi o Te Matau-a-Māui presents Shakespeare’s enduring play at a time when questions of democracy, and the essence of the human spirit, seem, now as then, in danger of shivering into obscurity.

Caesar’s climb to prime influence and power in a democratic state, and the conspiracy that destroyed what it sought to save, live on as a reminder to future history of the cost of absolute dictatorship, and of violent revolt.

Presented in the traverse, filtered through the lens of gender, and filled with dynamic physical theatre and combat sequences, this contemporary production of Julius Caesar spans a grappling dilemma of power and justice, liberty and duty, love and violence.

Directors Peter Cottrell and Jandyra Maciel each bring their unique skills to the production. Peter has a wealth of Shakespearian experience, and focuses on the text, bringing centuries’ old language to life. Jandyra focuses on movement, choreographing graphic combat scenes and contemporary transitions.

Each has been with HaBYT for over a decade with a number of Shakespearean productions under their belts. Witness their latest collaboration in HaBYT’s production of Julius Caesar, in association with the Hawke’s Bay Arts Festival, this October 9 & 10 at Toitoi Functions.
