Macbeth/Anatomy
Translator: Lőrinc Szabó
Director: Zoltán Balázs
Macbeth/Anatomy is Maladype's adaptation of one of Shakespeare’s darkest tragedies. This version focuses on the internal transformations of psyche due to external effects.
'Anatomy' relates to the research and investigation devoted to the examination of distorted personalities. This extremely sensitive physical and mental study determined the rehearsal process and gives space for character development within the play. The performance infuses corruption with sex, blends gentle with rough, and combines natural and abstract elements. Macbeth/Anatomy brings shivers down your spine.
The set, designed by director Zoltán Balázs comprises of specially built sculptures created by Katus György. It features unique guitars custom built by Péter Üveges and costume designs by Mari Benedek.
