2023 NHP Alum Shavonne Coleman’s All Hail will receive a world premiere production at the Detroit Institute of the Arts.
Set in a modern-day Detroit high school, this reimagining of Julius Caesar follows Brutus as he crosses between surreal realities where he and his friends wrestle with loyalty, ambition, and the struggle for power. Once admired, Caesar’s growing arrogance drives his peers to conspire against him. Brutus, caught between right and wrong and the complexities of justice, faces choices that test his values and identity. Through its vibrant characters and dreamlike setting, this production explores the benefits and consequences of ambition in a way that feels fresh and thought-provoking. Featuring original music and Black Greek step, the show brings dynamic movement and rhythm to the timeless tale.
