Macbeth – Music Performance after William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare’s dark tragedy Macbeth is adapted into a radical musical performance. The play, a haunting reflection of political and psychological power dynamics, tells the story of the downfall of a war-traumatized man whose mind is consumed by guilt, violence, and insatiable lust for power.

Lukas Böck, Robin Gadermaier, and Sören Kneidl stage the narrative as a hybrid theatrical evening: acting solo, sound performance, live radio play, and concert merge into an intense psychodrama. Music, language, and imagery intertwine inseparably, unfolding the seduction of power, the irreversibility of violence, and the moment when humanity vanishes into its own abyss.
