From Shakespeare's tragedy to Verdi's grandiose opera, the drama of Macbeth is the story of a devouring ambition that consumes beings and overthrows the powerful. Distilled by witches whose sinister agenda is none other than the downfall of the kingdom of Scotland, the slow poison of jealousy makes its way to the heart of a true anti-hero, pushing him to commit the irreparable with the sole aim of securing a place on the throne. In Ambre Kahan's staging for this new production, justice will be served as Nature reclaims its rights, purifying the moor and reducing the castle, the ultimate place of power, to a gothic ruin.
