In 1896, four scenes from William Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar were translated into Ê»oÌ„lelo ºÃÉ«ÏÈÉúÍøÕ¾Ê»i by James N. K. Keola and published in Ka Nupepa Kuokoa. What would have happened if Keola had asked other Kanaka Maoli intellectuals of his time to participate in a reading of these scenes? Kaisara imagines this gathering, exploring the intersection between Shakespeare’s portrayal of Ancient Rome and the political landscape of ºÃÉ«ÏÈÉúÍøÕ¾Ê»i in the 1890s to ask timeless questions about division, conspiracy, and political violence.
This hana keaka production will be performed predominantly in Ê»oÌ„lelo ºÃÉ«ÏÈÉúÍøÕ¾Ê»i.
