JULIUS CAESAR

WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE / ARTHUR NAUZYCIEL

Creation in Boston, USA (2008) · Available on tour 2026-2027

Julius Caesar by Shakespeare is one of Arthur Nauzyciel's major creations. 


Created in 2008 in Boston with American actors it has already known several tours in France and abroad. Arthur Nauzyciel has created then artistic companionships with actors and collaborators that he has regularly worked with since. It consecrated an American experience, a rare thing for a French director, with two plays by Bernard-Marie Koltès, Black Battles with Dog (2001) and Roberto Zucco (2004), and in Boston for the A.R.T. Abigail’s Party by Mike Leigh (2007). 


A play giving a central role to politics, seldom performed in France, Julius Caesar opens up the relection on what is the common good, and it still finds today strong, vivid, contemporary resonances. After 2 plays by Bernard-Marie Koltès, Black Battles With Dogs at the 7 Stages Theater in Atlanta (2001), reprised in Chicago (2004), and Roberto Zucco at the Emory Theater in Atlanta (2004), Arthur Nauzyciel staged Mike Leigh’s Abigail's Party at the American Repertory Theatre in Boston (2007). Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar, his fourth show in the United States, was created at the A.R.T. in February 2008.


Julius Caesar inaugurated in 2017 Arthur Nauzyciel's first season at the head of the Théâtre National de Bretagne, a way for him to present his work to the audience and to transmit this art theatre open on the world that questions the issues at stake of today’s society in all its diversity.
