Macbeth – Τeatro di Sardegna

A remarkable and innovative adaptation of the classic tragedy written by William Shakespeare. During Allessandro Serra’s performance, the set is transferred from the United Kingdom and Scotland to Sardinia and its carnival culture and rituals. Driven by the spirit of Elizabethan theatre, all main characters are played by male actors.

The original text is translated into the Sardinian dialect since both the Sardinian music and sound colors remind us something of the past and are so deeply connected to the human soul. The play is performed in great accuracy promoting thus an evocative strength resulting from kinesiology, image, speech and natural sounds.

This adaptation of the ‘Macbeth’ story gained the Italian audience’s and critics’ applause and praise; moreover it received important prizes and was presented at many festivals.
