"Every single moment felt charged with energy... I felt as if I were attending mass, or an exorcism, or maybe some ancient pagan ritual re-enacting myth.....Here was no lesson to be learned, but an experience to be felt." Night-Tinted Glasses
"MacBeth is an old, dark tale; MacBeth in Rhythm is a surprisingly fresh, startlingly beautiful telling of it." Theatre Ghost
MACBETH in RHYTHM - May 4th, 5th, and 6th.
Driven by the unyielding momentum pulsing through Shakespeare’s play, MACBETH in RHYTHM is a cascade of live rhythms, polyphonic singing, and raw physicality.
Six performers playing 15 characters pace the audience through cycles of violence and explore the pathology of ambition amidst the responsibility and sacrifice of leadership.
Approaching Macbeth primarily as a musical composition, MACBETH in RHYTHM reveals a riveting narrative through the sounds and silences of Shakespeare’s language.
MACBETH in RHYTHM is an experimental ensemble performance directed by Hannah Chodos, with performers Sam Breen, James Cowan, Lindsey Moore Ford, Emmie Nagata, Danielle O’Terry, and Ben Weaver. The lighting design is by Bosco Flanagan and the costumes are being designed by Amanda Wing Yee Lee.
