“Things without all remedy should be without regard: what’s done, is done.” If you are fond of Shakespeare, you know the depth these lines have. Shakespeare’s play about a Scottish nobleman and his wife who murder their king for his throne, Macbeth is one renowned play that everyone has either read or know about. Macbeth’s dark imagery have entered our collective imagination at some point or the other. For the Indian audiences, the play, Macbeth Badya is bringing an Indian twist to this legendary literary work.
What To Expect?
Macbeth Badya is a musical resonance and physical poetry of the dialectics of the tragedy of Macbeth.
The famous tragedy, whenever restructured in film or theatre at different times in different countries, has always borne
the sign of the culture of that country.
What You’ll Love?
So when in India they are trying to depict the inherent tragic trajectory of Macbeth it has to be Indian rhythm and the actor portraying it has an Indian body and uses all traditional Indian movement scores. Macbeth Badya is the Indian text that emerges with all modernity from the reading of Shakespeare’s most famous tragedy. The physical poetry also attempts to create analogs of the tragedy of a modern man. Power and power and power and power. This power hunger in us is celebrated through Pakhawaj and Indian classical Ragas.
Bottom Line
Appreciate the new form of art play these guys are staging. It has been performed in Germany, Denmark, Poland Romania, Paris, Theatre Du Soleil, Italy, Michalowice, Esztergom, Budapest (Hungary). They loved it, we’re sure you’ll love it too!
