Macbeth is the tragedy of disorder, a plunge into the depths of the human soul, but it is also the tragedy of power—a violent, anarchic power. The protagonist’s ascent to the throne is extremely rapid, as is his downfall. We thus witness the annihilation of a system of values, from whose ashes a new world will ultimately emerge. The staging is choral: the performers are always on stage, moving as a single body from which scenes and characters emerge. All die, yet none remain on the ground. Each is reabsorbed into the chorus in a continuous cycle, symbolizing power which, like life, renews itself again and again.

The production of Macbeth is possible thanks to support from the Italian Cultural institute in Bucharest.
