Joshua L. Peugh's Macbeth
This dynamic, minimalistic, 80-minute world premiere ballet uses contemporary dance to explore raw human psychology, revealing how ambition corrupts and power isolates. Returning to Ballet Memphis to create this innovative interpretation is Joshua L. Peugh, Founding Artistic Director of Dark Circles Contemporary Dance. Proving “there’s daggers in men’s smiles,” Peugh relies on powerful movement as the sole vocabulary to create the same psychological tension and character development that drives Shakespeare's tragedy. Featuring an original score composed by longtime collaborator Brandon Carson, and the artistic brilliance of costume designer Elizabeth Bourgeois.
