MACBETH MUET / La Fille Du Laitier
About the event
Macbeth, a loyal soldier to his nation, encounters three witches on the battlefield who prophesy that he will become king. In the wake of this revelation, Macbeth and Lady Macbeth embark on a bloody path fuelled by ambition, betrayal, and the pursuit of power.
Drawing inspiration from silent cinema and flirting with grand‐guignol melodrama, this wordless adaptation of Macbeth carries us on a darkly playful race toward the throne. In a frenzied, gore-soaked reimagining of the doomed couple’s downfall, Macbeth Muet deconstructs Shakespeare’s masterpiece through visceral theater. Bodies, props, and stage blood collide in an amoral universe where human lives are as disposable as discarded cups. Driven by an intense, immersive soundtrack, the actor-puppeteers unleash a dizzying choreography that transforms the play into a fully sensory experience.
Inventive and oxygenating…it may break your heart in a way you don’t see coming… What’s unexpected, and impressive, is the social and emotional acuity of this variation on Shakespeare’s play. New York Times
