Macbeth Muet at Maison-Théâtre (Montreal) – School Performance

The company La Fille Du Laitier is pleased to present 4 school performances of its show Macbeth Muet in Montreal, from April 28 to May 1, at Maison Théâtre. Intended for the second cycle of secondary school, this school outing also includes a preparatory workshop in the classroom, offered prior to the performance (mandatory workshop).

Synopsis

In a frenzied and blood-soaked adaptation of the doomed couple’s downfall, Macbeth Muet deconstructs Shakespeare’s work through visceral theatre. Inspired by silent films, and flirting with Grand Guignol and melodrama, this wordless adaptation of Macbeth sweeps us away with humour in a frantic race toward power. Bodies, objects and fake blood intertwine in a world devoid of morality, where human lives prove as fleeting as disposable cups.

In Macbeth Muet, Macbeth, a soldier loyal to his nation, encounters three witches on the battlefield who predict that he will become king. Following this revelation, Macbeth and Lady Macbeth choose the bloody path of ambition, betrayal and power.

Carried by an intense soundtrack, the performer-puppeteers deliver a breathtaking choreography.
