The theatrical production company Pentación Espectáculos has launched the #PantallaPentación initiative, this is, that every week offers online unabridged recordings of some of his best works (available for seven days only). Last week we saw Be able to and this is up to Julius Caesar, the adaptation that Paco Azorín has made of the work of the immortal Shakespeare. The piece was premiered in the 59 Edition of the Classical Theater Festival of Mérida, in 2013, and they have a cast with names like Mario Gas (Julius Caesar), Tristan Ulloa (Gross), Sergio Peris-Mencheta (Mark Antony) and José Luis Alcobendas (Casio). There is nothing! So now, on paper, It is a work that should awaken our curiosity. Gaius Julius Caesar, Roman politician and military, died more than 2.000 years, but his exploits and the plot that was organized to assassinate him have left him in history, partly also from the pen of William Shakespeare, who already in the 17th century sensed a great drama with signs of being turned into a spectacle. and here we are, in 2020, reliving the circumstances surrounding his death. The interesting thing about the work is not so much the murder itself., like before and after, how the plot was woven and how it was justified, in retrospect, the assassination. The popular heritage considers Brutus the murderer of the Roman dictator, but Shakespeare portrays him as the noblest of all the statesmen who were involved in the plot., motivated mainly by ambition and envy. Especially Casio, eaten away by jealousy and resentment. Gross however, believes he is acting for the Common Good of Rome by depriving him of power (and of life) to a man blinded by ambition. “As Caesar loved me, I cry for him, How lucky it was, I'm glad, As he was brave I honor him, But since he was ambitious I killed him.”, Brutus says to justify his actions. The leaders of the treacherous conspiracy stretch the defense so absurdly that they go so far as to say that they have saved Caesar years of fear of death.. How are you staying? If you want to know more about this great work written by the most immortal of all writers, about the most distinguished of all the leaders of Rome, Pentación puts it on a plate for you. S.M.
