ABOUT
The final part of Mad Duck’s The Roman Trilogy was produced after the Iraq elections and during a time of heightened insurgency. The production examined the right wing “War Hawk” perspective, contemporary warfare, the challenges of a new democracy, and the use of technology in mob manipulation in a fusion of First Folio Text Analysis, Movement and Martial Arts.
