French director Arthur Nauzyciel’s interpretation departs from more traditional readings of the text and presents a modern visual interpretation that attempts to create something altogether new. In this new production, which will run at the A.R.T. until March 16, Nauzyciel modernizes the fight for democracy and political power in ancient Rome by allowing the audience to connect...
