MADBETH – A Physical Comedy
One of the most tragic stories told in a unique hilarious manner One man, One throne, One crown, One hilariously tragic experience. Amidst thunder and lightening, three witches meet with Beth and Banquo, from there on Beth tries his best to live up to all the prophesies with his imaginary friend Banquo. Together they narrate this murderous tale sincerely.
Welcome to a roller coaster ride in the world created by Beth and Banquo. The Tragedy of Madbeth is a highly interactive physical comedy inspired by Shakespeare’s classic. A profound allegory that dissolves the space between observer and performer. The performance is a combination of slapstick, acrobatics, mime, songs and improvisations.
Madbeth is a devised theatre piece. It has been played for a wide range of audience in Europe, Israel, West Bank and India. The play was invited by UNESCO Centre for Peace to tour in USA (2012). The performance was a special pick at the Stockholm Fringe festival 2013. Prague Shakespeare Company hosted the performance (2013) at the National Theatre, Czech Republic.
