A bloody Scottish moorland. A grand and ominous prophecy. A passionate, loving marriage. Loyalty. Ambition. A high cost. Heavy paranoia. Crawling. Consuming. Desperation. Unexpected, tragic casualties. Civil war. Macbeth is an exploration of human nature, the structure and effect of power, and how we choose who we are to each other. Contemporary, physical, and raw - the body is the center of this work. What is happening in the limbs, head, and heart - the sound, the breath, the pleasure, the pain, the effort. The characters of Macbeth feel so extremely - they cut their hearts out and show them to us. Using a modified tréteau set and a variety of movement techniques, &Sons Theatre's ensemble movement work gives a body to thought, to emotion, and to the unseen.
