In this wordless adaptation of Shakespeare’s tragedy, Macbeth Muet immerses the audience in a world at the crossroads of silent film, grand guignol, and object theatre. The famous tale of Macbeth, a loyal soldier who spirals into murderous madness after the prophecy of three witches, is reimagined in a highly visual and physical form.
Driven by an immersive soundtrack and meticulously choreographed movement, this wild and visceral version portrays the cursed couple in a frenzied race for power. Bodies, everyday objects, and geysers of fake blood intertwine in an aesthetic both comic and macabre. Macbeth Muet deconstructs a classical work with finesse and humor to create a sensory theatrical experience, where the thirst for power proves as absurd as it is relentless.
