Milan, 17 December 2025 –The constancy of the North Star and that of man who dares to look beyond the boundaries of Earth come together in an unprecedented project: Star Bottle®, the Italian platform that allows you to send messages into deep space, announces an extraordinary collaboration with a historic London theatre company to pay tribute to William Shakespeare and his “Julius Caesar”.
On the occasion of the upcoming interstellar launch on 30 December 2025, Star Bottle® will send to Polaris A – the North Star an excerpt from the famous monologue in which Julius Caesar proclaims: “I am as constant as the North Star, whose unchanging and fixed quality is unmatched in the firmament.”.
A tribute to perseverance and determination, which becomes a symbol of humanity itself: the video, produced in collaboration with the prestigious Derby Shakespeare Theatre Company, will be transmitted into space along with messages from all those who have chosen to participate in the mission via the official platform. https://starbottle.space.
The film, shot in an authentic British theatre with a cast in period costume, blends Shakespeare's cultural heritage with Star Bottle's futuristic vision.®, in an ideal bridge between art and science, past and future, Earth and infinity.
«This initiative perfectly represents what Star Bottle® has become: a crossroads between emotion, culture and technology." – declares Domenico Zambarelli, Chief Executive Officer of Star Bottle® –. “Julius Caesar speaks of constancy and vision, the same values that guide us in our attempt to carry the human voice beyond our planet. Sending a passage from the Bard to the North Star is a celebration of our aspiration to remain steadfast, even when everything around us is in motion. Julius Caesar was the first play performed at the Globe Theatre 430 years ago, and incredibly, it will take exactly 430 years for the transmission to reach its stellar destination.
Director Leni Robson stated: «Being the first company in history to broadcast Shakespeare into space is an honour that has extraordinary significance for us, for Shakespeare and for British culture. Shakespeare transcends time, and now space too. We hope that, through this exceptional gesture, we can show new audiences, wherever they may be, the profound beauty and power of his writing. Our production of Julius Caesar is particularly relevant to this cosmic message: it communicates timeless themes such as division, misidentification, dictatorship and prejudice, issues that we still have to deal with today.
The choice of Polaris A The destination is not random: a landmark for travellers for thousands of years, it is now the new frontier of interstellar communication. Messages sent on 30 December will travel approximately 430 years before reaching their destination, on a symbolic journey that combines the eternity of Shakespeare's words with the luminous constancy of the most famous star in the northern sky.
The video of the monologue from “Julius Caesar”, produced in the United Kingdom by the theatre company, will be available on Star Bottle's official social media channels.®.
With this mission, Star Bottle® renews its commitment to bringing the voice of humanity into Deep Space – a message of beauty, hope and continuity that transcends time and space. For more information on the Star Bottle project® and on space launches: www.starbottle.space
