In this staging, the three witches —confused visions, embodiments of duality and bearers of double-edged prophecies— represent Shakespeare’s tragedy for the enjoyment, delight and catharsis of the audience. The actor’s body becomes a vessel pierced by forces, stripped of historical selfhood, ready to embody presences and impulses where the theatrical becomes an almost paranormal phenomenon. This production seeks to denounce the criminal inclinations of power while simultaneously reactivating the sacred, poetic and transformative capacities of the body on stage.
Habitación Macbeth proposes a break with the traditional function of theatre as a mere mirror of reality, throwing a stone that shatters that reflection to reveal its hidden layers. The play explores how our historical identity is marked by a violent and inescapable will to power. It proposes a performance as a phenomenon of manifestation, where Shakespeare becomes the means to strike the mirror of reality. An intense experience that challenges traditional forms of theatre and turns the stage into an act of invocation, accompanied by original music by Claudio Peña.
