Macbeth, un soldat loyal envers sa nation, rencontre sur le champ de bataille trois sorcières qui lui prédisent qu’il sera roi. Suite à cette révélation, Macbeth et Lady Macbeth choisissent le chemin sanglant de l’ambition, de la trahison et du pouvoir.

Inspirée du film muet et flirtant avec le grand guignol et le mélodrame, cette adaptation sans parole de Macbeth nous transporte avec humour dans une course effrénée vers le pouvoir. Dans une version accélérée et sanguinolente des déboires du couple maudit, Macbeth Muet déconstruit la tragédie de Shakespeare avec un théâtre viscéral, utilisant corps, objets et faux sang, dans un monde dépourvu de moralité où les vies humaines sont aussi jetables que des coupes en polystyrène. Soutenus par une bande sonore chargée et surprenante, les interprètes-marionnettistes nous offrent une chorégraphie de haute voltige.

Toronto Now Best of the FestFringe 2017 : Meilleure production + Meilleure performance

Inspired by the burlesque acting of silent films, this silent, bold, brutal and bloody performance takes us on a wordless journey through the ruthless pursuit of power with humour and melodramatic gestures.
A new vision of the criminal spouses in a sped-up version completely unravels Shakespeare’s tragedy. The combination of bodies, objects and stage blood is dominated by a social and emotional poignancy that depicts the futility of human life in a world without morals. The performance is supported by an impressive soundtrack and exceptional animation choreography by two puppeteers.

About "Macbeth muet"

"Imaginative, ingenious, startlingly powerful: that’s the high-impact 50minute version of Shakespeare’s Macbeth delivered to us by Montreal’s La Fille du Laitier."

Liz Nicholls, 12thnight.ca (21/08/2018)

 

"Now and again – and not very often – I just want to write, "See it !" and not a word more."

Jo Ledingham Theatre reviews, On the scene (30/05/ 2018)

 

"…inventive and oxygenating (…) it may break your heart in a way you don’t see coming.”(…)What’s unexpected, and impressive, is the social and emotional acuity of this variation on Shakespeare’s play. (…) this production hasn’t forgotten the essential role of sex in marriage, including the Macbeths’."

Laura Collins-Hugues, The New York Times (Septembre 2017)
