MACBETTU

An extraordinary and original staging of William Shakespeare’s classic tragedy. In Alessandro Serra’s performance, the setting is moved from the Kingdom of Scotland amid the carnival culture and rituals of the inhabitants of the Italian island of Sardinia. True to the spirit of Elizabethan theatre men are cast in all roles in the performance. The original text is translated into Sardinian whose music and sound start to ring as if coming from other times and out of the depths of the human soul. The performance works, with exceptional precision, with the captivating power of gesture, image, voice and adds to them sounds of natural elements.
