Macbeth

Theatre 10€

Thursday 24 September · until 31 Oct

Teatro Nacional D.MariaII Lisbon
All events at this venue 30 Directions

The Teatro Nacional D. Maria II reopens with 'Macbeth', the same play that was on stage during the 1964 fire, in a contemporary take on memory and rebirth.

Synopsis After three years closed for renovations, the Teatro Nacional D. Maria II reopens its doors, and does so with irresistible boldness and irony. The first play to take the stage will be Macbeth, the same one that was on stage on the fateful night of December 2, 1964, when a powerful fire left the theater in ruins, fueling the legends, superstitions and curses that have always surrounded this Shakespearean tragedy. Macbeth returns to the Sala Garrett to challenge fate and combine haunting and future, in what will be the inaugural act of a building that resumes its history, and of a national theater that wants to assert itself as a navigator of a frontier where memory echoes and what is to come is glimpsed. The destructive historical fire and the ambition that consumes the pair of protagonists intertwine on stage, in a contemporary approach that reflects on memory and rebirth, merging reality and illusion, and echoing the unsettling question: is the theater truly free from its destiny? Between ashes and new foundations, Macbeth transforms the stage into a battlefield where past and future confront each other, making the reopening of D. Maria II a true act of exorcism and celebration.
