"Macbeth"

The Frank Theatre presents a large-scale production of MACBETH directed by Ivan Uryvsky.

The story of Macbeth is a journey from a noble knight to a ruthless usurper, from triumph to madness. The loss of humanity begins with one victory, with one step beyond the moral. But as in Shakespeare's time, so today, evil does not always have a face - it is dissolved in the information space, in manipulation, in hybrid wars.

In the Frank Theatre's modern reading of "Macbeth", demonic forces take on new forms. Bearded witches, who prophesy power to the hero, turn into all-seeing digital entities that, like the "Eye of Sauron", constantly monitor, direct, manipulate. In a world where reality dissolves in a stream of disinformation, and state leaders balance between power and dictatorship, Macbeth once again sounds like a warning.

A hundred years ago, Les Kurbas presented one of the first large-scale Ukrainian productions of Macbeth at the Berezil Theater. At that time, this performance became an artistic study of the nature of a political leader and the consequences of unlimited power. Today, the Franko Theater continues this movement.

How can society withstand the flow of information manipulation? How to govern a state without turning into a tyrant? How to preserve humanistic ideals in a world that is cracking under the pressure of war? We will look for answers to these questions together with the viewer.
