“Caesar” is a sequel to the play “Bacchanalia," a co-production between YCC from Skopje and Intercult from Stockholm. But, if “Bacchanalia” dealt with “the difficulties of the mountain," to paraphrase Brecht, “Caesar” deals with “the difficulties of the plain."  

The irrational madness that reigned yesterday’s Balkans in “Bacchanalia” in “Caesar” is turned into an ironical, unveiled game dealing with post-war Balkans, the new structure of power and the financial gang rituals wrapped into the still present rhetoric of the great para-state interests. 

In terms of form, the play will follow a kind of a Piscatore-esque sweep, mechanisms of various information and it will count on emotional and self-ironic pressures of the Brecht-like songs and the ethno instruments from the Balkans.
