Overview
Shakespeare’s tale of ambition, corruption and witchcraft Macbeth has been taken out of it traditional setting and thrown into modern day Congo.
In this Brett Bailey-directed re-creation, a group of Congolese refugees stumble upon a trunk filled with sheet music, costumes and gramophone recordings; all while a warlord and his ambitious wife unleash atrocities on a crumbling African province.
The rework also features re-arrangements of Verdi's score from the 1847 opera of the same name, performed by an on-stage chamber orchestra and 10 rich-voiced African singers.
The performers are part of South African performance company Third World Bunfight.
