Synopsis

Julius Caesar is your favourite rapper, and he’s out to become God too. Will you be hypnotized by the drums and bass, or take arms against tyranny?

CAEZUS is a provocative industrial hip-hop adaptation of Shakespeare’s tragedy from the playwright of “A Perfect Bowl of Pho” and one of Toronto’s most inventive electronic-techno composers. (fringetoronto.com)
