Without words

Inspired by the visual language of silent film, this adaptation of Macbeth without words flirts with boisterous theatrics and melodrama and draws us into a frantic and hilarious race for power. An accelerated, visceral and bloody version of the doomed couple’s hardships, Macbeth Muet uses bodies and fake blood to deconstruct Shakespeare’s tragedy. The story unfolds in a world devoid of morality, where human lives are as disposable as styrofoam cups. The actor-puppeteers perform perfectly choreographed feats backed by an intense soundtrack and a surprising choice of music.

RUNNING TIME: 50 minutes

Company

Founded in 2015 by three National Theatre School of Canada graduates, La Fille Du Laitier strives to help audiences discover that performing arts can be part of everyday life. The company has produced three shows, which all explore different works and theatrical currents in a spirit of freedom and unbridled imagination.

Macbeth Muet was created in Montréal for a one-night-only cabaret and was widely acclaimed. It was then presented at the OUF! Off-Casteliers festival, the Festival de Théâtre de rue de Lachine, Undercurrents (Ottawa), the Toronto Fringe, the Winnipeg Fringe, the FIAMS (Festival international des arts de la marionnette à Saguenay) and, most recently, at the SoHo Playhouse in New York.
