Shakespeare's Julius Caesar is a story of a war sparked by Brutus' assassination of Roman leader Caesar and ending with the fall of the Roman Republic. The audience is faced with the paradoxes and blurred lines between democracy and autocracy, but Shakespeare provides no clear answers and adds complexity to the plot by using multifaceted characters. Although Julius Caesar is rarely performed in Chinese theatres, Wu believes that it provides questions and metaphors worth thinking about in these post-pandemic times. COVID-19 brought everything to a halt, forcing us into isolation, but it also gave us an opportunity to reflect on our lives and even have a fresh start. Now that the pandemic has passed, many will find the questions posed by Shakespeare to be particularly relevant.

The statue of Caesar that appears throughout Shakespeare's play represents the former leader's living legacy, so one is created using stage design and projections, acting as a strong backdrop for the actors' performances. The use of such technology shows why  Contemporary Legend Theatre is a considered a leader among traditional Chinese and even Asian theatre companies. But while Wu understands that the use of new technology is essential for Chinese opera to be considered contemporary art in the 21st century, he does not want this to overshadow the actors who put their hearts and souls into their performances. Still, he believes creators should become knowledgeable about the properties of arts tech, and "make the images your characters".
