A darkly comic fall of empire — defying war, embracing peace, and asking what it truly means to lead.
Romulus the Great is Friedrich Dürrenmatt’s bold and darkly comic satire — a striking reimagining of the fall of the Roman Empire that questions the very foundations of power, war, and peace.
Presented in Persian with English surtitles, this powerful production brings fresh relevance to a classic play, inviting audiences into a world where an emperor’s refusal to wage war becomes an act of radical defiance.
As the Western Roman Empire crumbles and invaders close in, Emperor Romulus calmly resists the calls to arms. While chaos reigns around him, he stands firm in his rejection of violence — not out of fear, but principle. Is he a coward, or a visionary ahead of his time?
With sharp humour, philosophical depth, and striking theatricality, Romulus the Great speaks urgently to our modern world — where peace can still be a revolutionary act.
Don’t miss this thought-provoking and timely performance that turns history on its head and asks: what if the bravest choice is not to fight?
