About
Titus Andronicus is the story of a soldier who brings the fever of war to a corrupt and decayed Rome, setting off a brutal cycle of revenge that consumes all around him.
This Vancouver Premiere is the 2nd play of our Democracy Project examining contemp0orary times through the lens of classical texts. The production focused on the Afghan and Iraq wars, the cycle of violence, PTSD, and what happens when the war comes home. The production incorporated Movement, Physical and Devising Creation Practices, Found Object and First Folio Text Analysis.
