All schools will be learning Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar.
Julius Caesar is a history play and tragedy by William Shakespeare, believed to have been written and first performed in 1599. It is one of several plays written by Shakespeare based on true events from Roman history, such as Antony and Cleopatra and Coriolanus. Of which, Antony and Cleopatra was often consider as a sequel of Julius Caesar.

The original play was set in Rome in 44 BC, the play depicts the moral dilemma of Brutus as he joins a conspiracy led by Cassius to murder Julius Caesarto prevent him from becoming dictator of Rome. Following Caesar’s death, Rome is thrust into a period of civil war, and the republic the conspirators sought to preserve is lost forever.

Although the play is named Julius Caesar, the central psychological drama of the play focuses on Brutus’ struggle between the conflicting demands of honour, patriotism, and friendship.

Part theatre, part reality, and 100% Hong Kong

One hundred Hong Kong citizens, chosen to reflect the demographics of the city, come together in the Grand Theatre at the Xiqu Centre.

As performers, as people, as percentage points, they respond live to a series of questions, reconfiguring a series of ever-changing statistical groupings on stage and bravely revealing their joys and sorrows, hopes and fears, beliefs and attitudes.

Collaborating with Hong Kong’s On & On Theatre Workshop, these citizens create a living, breathing portrait of our city: part theatre, part reality, and 100% Hong Kong.

Since 2008, Berlin’s Rimini Protokoll has staged more than 35 location-specific productions around the world, in co-operation with local teams.
