Dzieci Theatre presents Makbet - a riostouly ritualized Macbeth
"It’s a thrilling production that manages to put a new and exciting spin on a show we’ve seen a thousand times, shaking things up but still remaining true to the words, the themes, and the story." -New York Theatre Review
For Dzieci’s Gypsy version of Macbeth, the ensemble has learned all the lines, of every part, through a process of oral transmission. Employing haunting folk songs and chants from Scandinavia and Eastern Europe, Theatre Group Dzieci explores (and explodes), the very essence of theatre and storytelling in their one-act rendition of Shakespeare’s classic.
Dzieci is an experimental theatre ensemble dedicated to a search for the “sacred” through the medium of theatre. Integrating theatrical techniques, ritual forms derived from Native American and Eastern spiritual disciplines, and an ethic based securely in Humanistic Psychology, Dzieci aims to create a theatre that is as equally engaged with personal transformation as it is with public presentation.
"You haven’t seen Macbeth until you’ve seen it presented by Dzieci… an eye-popping-ear-poking confirmation that Shakespeare once again constructed something not easily degraded. And you’re not likely to see anything resembling it ever again."
