Hailed as one of the most exciting and innovative voices in Poland’s avant-garde theatre scene, Song of the Goat Theatre reimagines King Lear not as a linear drama but as a powerful oratorio - a theatrical ritual in which music transforms into character, relationship, and event.

Directed by the company's co-founder Grzegorz Bral, Songs of Lear unfolds through a sequence of songs shaped as dramatic poem. Each draws on key moments from Shakespeare's tragedy, interweaving text fragments, vocal expression, and physical movement to reveal the emotional and spiritual core of Lear - minimalist in form yet profound and far-reaching in emotion.

Following a triple award sweep at the 2012 Edinburgh Festival Fringe, including the Scotsman Fringe First, Herald Archangel and Musical Theatre Matters awards, and acclaimed tours across Europe and Asia, it now arrives in Hong Kong for its long-awaited debut.


Narration in English with Chinese and English surtitles. Songs performed in multiple languages.
