The goriest work of Shakespeare; hailed as "one of the most significant events of Hong Kong contemporary theatre" for its premiere in 2009; taken on tour to ten cities in Europe and Asia – Director Tang Shu-wing takes an audacious and ground-breaking approach in presenting the revenge classic of the Roman General Titus by story-telling in physical theatre with live music and body language – Titus Andronicus 2.0 makes a triumphant return in 2026!

Titus Andronicus 2.0 focuses on the core of theatre where minimalism takes over: the removables are removed on an empty stage floor lit measurably on seven chairs and actors, commuting between the capacities of the characters and narrators. The resulting energy, after combining intensively collaborative training and multiple narrations from improvised experimentation, is radiantly gigantic.

This play represents the most adventurous trip ever to explore every possibility in theatre, inevitably guiding audiences to the black holes in our hearts. An entry to the vicinity filled with primal forces and immense imagination is invited, with a bold journey of self-reflection, awakening and internal cleansing.
