MACBETH
From William Shakespeare's play, with The Tiger Lillies, directed by Oriol Broggi
La Perla 29 and the London trio The Tiger Lillies come together to tell the tragic story of Macbeth. The result of this version is a great artistic display that transports the audience on an extraordinary journey each night, guided by the new live songs of The Tiger Lillies and three performers from La Perla 29.
The Tiger Lillies and La Perla 29 travel to the heart of Macbeth in a show-concert featuring the cabaret style of the London trio's music and the aesthetics of the Barcelona company. A new way to tell this impactful story that speaks of power and war, of guilt, of hands stained with blood, of death, of spells, and of the indelible memory of crimes committed by deranged ambition.
Poor Macbeth, deluded, who killed the king to wear the crown.
Returning from a great battle, Macbeth and Banquo encounter three witches on the way. They tell Macbeth that he will be king of Scotland. Troubled by this prophecy, the man who until now was an admirable general in the royal army will intervene in the course of fate and murder King Duncan, seduced by the serpentine tongue of his wife, Lady Macbeth. Political deceit will indeed lead them to the crown, and here will begin the long nightmare of the darkest night: the reign of Macbeth. The clouds will cover the moon, ambition will cloud the eyes of the tyrant, and the most despicable crimes will be committed, with paranoia, fear, war, and blood reigning.
The three witches sing to Macbeth, a power too great for a human.
