Tunbridge Wells Puppetry Festival: Macbeth Muet
Full Description
This UK premiere by Montréal based company La Fille du Laitier is inspired by silent film and flirts melodrama. This wordless adaptation of Macbeth, humorously transports us into a frantic race for power. In a fast-paced, gory version of the doomed couple’s woes, Macbeth Mute deconstructs Shakespeare’s tragedy with visceral theatre, using bodies, objects and fake blood, in a world devoid of morality where human lives are as disposable as Styrofoam cups. Supported by a charged and surprising soundtrack, the performer-puppeteers offer us a high-flying choreography.
