MUSIC PERFORMANCE
Three witches sing to Macbeth, promising him a power too great for any human being. The Tiger Lillies and Catalan theatre company La Perla 29 plunge into the heart of Shakespeare’s tragedy in a dark and visceral concert-performance that brings together the trio’s unmistakable live music with La Perla 29’s theatrical world.
Led by accordions, pianos, new songs and haunting ballads, three actors and the three Tiger Lillies musicians create a raw and unexpected Macbeth — a story of power and war, guilt and bloodshed, death and superstition, and the destructive force of unchecked ambition.
Macbeth kills a king to seize his crown and willingly enters a fatal labyrinth from which there is no escape. Driven by the prophecies of the witches and Lady Macbeth’s relentless ambition, paranoia takes hold and violence spirals out of control. As the tyrant confronts the consequences of his crimes, the question remains: what kind of dawn could ever dispel these bloody clouds?
MACBETH is a striking encounter between Shakespeare and The Tiger Lillies’ anarchic, darkly comic musical universe.
